The address shines, it even glows. But discreetly, without making unnecessary waves. It is inhabited by the passion that bubbles within its walls. Here, the customer is king, and everything is done with the pleasure of giving pleasure; this is the infallible framework of Lisa Calcus and Nicolas Campus at Les Gribaumonts.

The chef, Lisa, a humble and reserved woman, reveals her talent and character through her cooking, offering daily a skill that resembles a feat; she possesses the noble diligence of reserved individuals, while others indulge in the gilding of fame, forgetting their essentials. From Lisa's vast gustatory palette, we have retained what no chef should ever forget: the crucial importance of the product. Therefore, every day, it takes center stage at the table – scallops, gambero, sea bass fillet, venison, sweetbreads… - all served with precise cooking and an uncommon sense of seasonal vegetables. In her dishes, we find all the ingredients of the beautiful terroirs, and only the taste imposes itself as the dominant master, through touching and flavorful servings. Today, we eat very, very well with the soy-glazed octopus, burnt watermelon, ajo blanco, toasted almonds, the grilled fish of the day, vegetables, and southern-flavored sabayon, the langoustine, head coulis, homemade salting with Espelette pepper, the confit pork cheek "PQA," revisited tacos style, the beef cut of the moment, eggplant, miso, lettuce coulis, and the raspberry, mascarpone cream with matcha tea, ice cream, and pistachio dacquoise.

And then there is Nicolas, a great sommelier. From his masterful cellar, he selects the bottles that will punctuate, enhance, and complement Lisa’s solid flavors, asserting themselves as the essential final argument. A free man, unburdened by ostentatious labels, preferring author wines that are accountable only to the soils that bear them. In keeping with this assertive and refined spirit, the decor plays the card of contemporary minimalism without coldness, comfortable between large lampshades and remarkable works.

Exactly the kind of address where one should be led by the hand, from wines to desserts, with guaranteed total delight.
