Description
The philosophy of this restaurant — 100% locally sourced ingredients, zero-waste kitchen, relationships with named farmers — demanded an interior that embodied the same values. Every material was chosen for its provenance: reclaimed French oak from a 19th-century barn, hand-made brick from a local pottery, ceramic tiles made from recycled glass. The open kitchen is the centrepiece — a long pass of honed Burgundy limestone behind which the chefs work in full view of a dining room of 60.
