“When you cook, you have to love people. My cuisine is like a symphony; I cook to the rhythms of music – and it’s fun. I don’t make my food adapt to me…I get a feeling for the food that’s the freshest I can procure. The menu changes often, serving only homemade breads & pastries, entrees, salads, ice cream and sorbet…everything authentically from home”. CHEF JEAN-STEPHANE POINARD
Valerie and Chef Jean-Stephane invite their guests to ‘Enjoy the Bistro as if it were ‘Beaujolais Nouveau’ every day of the year and live the moment with us”.
