On the banks of the Cordé, this 19C mansion, tastefully refurbished in a modern vibe with two large dining rooms whose windows overlook the leafy, tree-lined garden, provides the perfect foil to chef Jean-Paul Braga’s spot-on, seasonal cuisine. Recipes which also feature the occasional nostalgic tribute (braised calf sweetbreads with morels, Rossini tournedos) or even a sprinkling of mouth-watering Portuguese delicacies from the chef’s homeland.
