Restaurant where the chef prepares refined cuisine using local produce, often organic, and offering good value for money.
Since 2021, Wendy (front of house) and Sébastien (cooks) have run their restaurant out of this beautiful building. Refined, finely executed cuisine, for which the chef carefully selects local and often organic produce. The "inspiration" and "experience" menus offer an exceptional gastronomic break that explores the whole palette of l'Épine - a delight! While the lunch menu is perfect for a quality lunch break (2 or 3 courses). With its lovely terrace, perfect welcome and service, this Ridello address is sure to please.

un grand merci aux patrons et à l'équipe
surtout pensez à réserver ????
Produits locaux délicieusement mis en avant par le chef. Inspirations japonaises subtilement distillées au cours du repas. Quels beaux accords !
La justesse de l’assaisonnement… Le cabernet franc du domaine Grosbois… Que c’était bon ???? ce fut un régal des yeux et du palais ! Merci ????
Un conseil : Allez-y mais réservez !
La cuisine est excellente avec une approche mêlant la cuisine Française et Japonaise!
N’hésitez pas à réserver car les tables pour le midi sont vites pleines, ce qui est totalement justifié au vu de la qualité des plats!
