Datil

Chef Manon Fleury notched up a number of experiences in prestigious kitchens (with chefs such as William Ledeuil, Pascal Barbot and Alexandre Couillon) and short-term chef residencies before opening her own restaurant. Her culinary philosophy, based on a respect for nature and human dignity, a championing of short supply chains (sourcing carefully and locally) and a zero-waste policy, stems from a genuine passion for sustainable fine dining. Dishes are primarily plant-based (fruit and vegetables feature in equal measure), with animal protein used sparingly. Her refined cooking style reveals all the aromatic subtleties and complexities of grains in particular (she has written a book on the subject) but also of fruits, in a subtle exploration of their sweet and sour flavours. A decor of waxed concrete floors, velvet banquette, light oak dining chairs. Booking essential.
