Born From a Belief That Dining Should Move You
The Beginning — 2009
A Small Kitchen, an Uncompromising Vision
In 2009, Chef Laurent Morel converted a former merchant's townhouse into an eighteen-seat dining room. The mission was singular: to serve food that required no translation — where a single bite communicated terroir, craft, and care without a word.
The early years were defined by restraint. No tablecloths. No background music. Only the conversation between guest and plate.
Recognition — 2014
The Guide Takes Notice
Five years after opening, the Michelin Guide awarded its first star — followed by a second in 2017. Critical recognition mattered less to Chef Morel than the returning guests who booked months in advance simply to sit quietly and eat something honest.
The restaurant remained twelve covers. It still does.
The Team Today
Fourteen People Who Care Deeply
The kitchen is led by Chef de Cuisine Isabelle Renard, who joined in 2016 after stages at three-star establishments in Lyon and Copenhagen. Front of house is guided by Maître d' Thomas Hargreaves, whose hospitality philosophy is simple: every guest should feel they are the only one in the room.
Our sommelier, Elena Vasquez, manages a cellar of over 400 labels — personally selected on annual producer visits across Europe and California.
