The gourmet restaurant, awarded with one Michelin star in 2019, is an entity in its own right. At Hotel La Mirande the days follow a rhythm marked by genuine gastronomical moments, in which all the arts come together and nothing is left to chance. The table is a décor where the materials and the objects join with the forms and the colours of the food you are invited to taste: pleasure of the eye as an introduction to the pleasure of the palate! It is as if the products of nature had been observed and admired in their simplicity before becoming part of a recipe, however sophisticated and lovingly concocted, so as to preserve their integrity. And one of the greatest paradoxes is just how much energy is required to achieve such a light touch!

In the old Pamard family kitchen, on a venerable wood burning stove, surrounded by the instruments of great traditional cooking – copper pans, beautiful earthenware, old-fashioned kitchen scales and an enormous wooden table – Séverine Sagnet is cooking in accordance with her credo “from farm to table” a set menu for an audience of up to 14 guests sharing 3 sides of the enormous wooden table. This is the heart of La Mirande. In the convivial atmosphere tongues become free and such complicity may lead to lasting friendship.
