05/04/2024: We have been stopping at Aux Terrasses for many years.
Once again, it was a success!
Jean Michel Carrette's cuisine does not cheat and once again delighted us.
Not always easy between two seasons.
High-quality local products and a magnificently well-balanced wine list with a carefully chosen choice of winegrowers. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped.
A must-have!
03/04/2024: First stop on the holiday route, Aux Terrasses is now a goal in itself, where I like to have lunch and dinner with friends or family. There are all kinds of reasons to make the trip: the warm welcome from the hostess, the decor, the volumes of the room, the light, the harmony of the furniture and the crockery placed on magnificent oak tables . This elegant sobriety is the perfect setting for the cuisine that Jean-Michel Carrette serves us, rigorous and traditional from a great chef, but full of inventiveness, modernism, and high-level taste and visual surprises. The service is discreet, efficient and attentive, like the attentive sommelier who shares his courteous knowledge with guests who are amazed by his choices for the food and wine pairing menu. There are also many gourmet discoveries in the glasses, like during our lunch where we were able to taste an anthology of delicious whites. On the plates, which pass at a perfect rhythm, without having to wait while leaving time to taste each dish, generous portions of products carefully chosen and presented with talent. Colors, scents, textures, perfect cooking (the char is a marvel!). Everything is beautiful, the dressage is full of wit and elegance, with no frills. With Carette, there are no flashy mixtures, we savor and recognize the taste of the condiments or juices which bring the scallops to their best taste, the asparagus to the peak of their flavor... Each dish is also magnified by small details full of inventiveness without the need for incomprehensible descriptions (as is often the case elsewhere), spices with unknown names or learned expressions.
At Les Terrasses, we enjoy a rare, original but frank cuisine, where plants take a very interesting place and rich in new tastes.
We have a delicious and relaxing time there, especially since the prices are very reasonable.
for an address of this quality.
The first star is well deserved, and the new Michelin distinction (the green macaron) distinguishes Jean-Michel Carette's cuisine in its eco-responsible commitment.
