The chef here has a light and sure touch, and a flair for ingredient pairings that sees mostly locally sourced meat and fresh produce transformed into nicely presented dishes that work very well. Hazelnuts and apple add crunch and sweetness to buckwheat risotto, trout tartare sings with red currant high notes and the tomato and peach soup delights and surprises.
