Le Pampre

Metz


Housed in a listed building, with rich colours, wood floors and subtle lighting, this is a smart pick for a special lunch or dinner. The food tastes as good as it sounds on paper, simple as a sous-vide egg from a local farm with Beluga lentils or fillet of Lorraine beef in a Bordelaise red wine and shallot sauce.
