Virtuoso chef Yoann Conte nods to regional cuisine with smoked féra (white fish from Lake Léman) and cornflour farfalle (butterfly pasta) with morels, while Corsican citrus and Greek olive oils widen the balance of flavours. For sensory immersion in this polished, double Michelin-starred restaurant, the 'Conte Vents et Marées' – a 12-element 'winds and seas' menu – aims to tell a story through food.
Reserve a week ahead on holidays, for Saturday dinner and from June to early September.
