Chai Gourmand

You can’t miss the Chai Gourmand (think ‘winery for foodies’), housed in a truly spectacular concrete, wood and glass architectural behemoth. Lush green countryside soothingly frames and underscores the warm, welcoming minimalist interior dotted with Scandinavian accents. A gifted cook, chef Pierre Massin unveils his know-how whilst managing to steer clear of fussy complexity and yet enable the modern appetising score to showcase his carefully controlled creative streak. He leaves his signature with just a few side dishes, for example, slow-baked whiting is coated in melt-in-the-mouth breadcrumbs and flanked by knockout smoked eel and vegetables that add a subtle refreshing note and a ponzu-flavoured eel jus for a final kick. Food that strikes just the right balance between distinctive flavour and freshness. Even better, the dishes of the set menu are also available on the à la carte menu. In terms of beverages, you won’t go wrong if you trust the sommelier for his inspired food-wine pairing suggestions.
