Gourmet Restaurant
Just a few meters from the Doubs River, this charming bistro in the Faubourg Saint-Étienne neighborhood is a trusted staple in Pontarlier. Jérôme Vincent serves up inspired, personal cuisine that’s constantly evolving and brimming with creativity. You might be tempted by the appetizer of shellfish, seaweed, and millet, a shellfish escabèche with Morteau sausage, a creamy millet purée from the Maublanc mill with seaweed and candied lemon, a marinière sauce from a siphon and toasted focaccia, Arctic char with a slow-cooked stew of Paimpol cocos beans and meadowsweet, fermented plum condiment; a medallion of smoked veal with walnut shells, potatoes, and shiitake mushrooms, mirabelle plum chutney, and meat jus with walnut oil. To finish, figs candied in Macvin, a tagetes-passion fruit cream and ice cream, gel, and fresh figs.
