Food & Drinks: The restaurant features French fine dining, with à la carte dishes such as foie gras with apple-cranberry and Pineau des Charentes; grilled sole with green curry buckwheat, asparagus and grain mustard-yuzu dressing; and saddle of venison with périgourdine sauce. A more casual menu is served in the bar.
