The address radiates, it even shines. But with discretion, without making unnecessary waves. It is imbued with the passion simmering within its walls. Here, the customer is king, and the focus is always on the essentials, finding joy in giving pleasure; this is the unfailing philosophy of Lisa Calcus and Nicolas Campus at Les Gribaumonts.

Chef Lisa, a humble and reserved woman, reveals her talent and character through the expression of her cuisine. Every day, she delivers what feels like a masterful performance. She embodies the noble dedication of the reserved, while others get lost in the glitter of fame, forgetting their essence. From Lisa’s vast culinary palette, one lesson stands out: the crucial importance of the product. And so, it takes center stage every day – scallops, prawns, sea bass fillet, venison, sweetbreads – all cooked to perfection and paired with an uncommon mastery of seasonal vegetables. Her plates encapsulate the essence of fine terroirs, with flavor reigning supreme through touching and delectable creations. Today’s menu delights with dishes such as mackerel "gravelax," Bloody Mary, tomato juice granita, scallops with confit celeriac, thyme foam, and seed crumble, lobster risotto, slow-cooked beef burger with Étivaz, caramelized onions, and Rochefort mayonnaise, pheasant supreme with apple chutney, parsley root, Calvados sauce, waffle fries, and pineapple with passion fruit siphon, coconut biscuit, and exotic sorbet.

And then there is Nicolas, a brilliant sommelier. From his remarkable wine cellar, he selects bottles that punctuate, enhance, and perfectly complement Lisa’s creations, serving as the essential final touch. A free spirit unburdened by ostentatious labels, he prefers auteur wines that answer only to the soils from which they arise. In harmony with this refined and assertive spirit, the décor embraces a contemporary minimalism without coldness, blending comfort with oversized lampshades and striking artworks.

This is exactly the kind of place where you let yourself be guided, from the wines to the desserts, with total delight guaranteed.
