The Kitchen

The eleven-course signature degustation

Chef Emilie Rousseau’s complete tasting — eleven courses paced across three hours, with the sommelier’s pairing flight and a seat where the pass is visible.

The Arrangement

One menu, the whole house

The signature degustation is the only menu that touches every station in the kitchen — the raw bar, the hearth, the pastry atelier and the cellar’s reserve shelf.

Courses shift with the market each week; the structure stays — three openings, four mains-in-miniature, two interludes, two desserts and the trolley’s farewell.

Eleven courses

A fixed progression from oyster to petit fours, paced over roughly three hours.

Pairing flight

Seven pours matched by the sommelier, reserve labels included.

Pass-side seats

The counter and the banquette rows both watch the kitchen work.

What It Includes
