A warm experience

The warm setting of “L’Alchemin” is just as appreciated as the cuisine. Romain, service manager, ensures a friendly experience in a cozy and refined atmosphere. “With Romain, the first evenings of opening of L'Alchemin, we made two seats… we went around in circles laughing about it… Today, the restaurant is full for lunch and dinner”says the chef, happy with the rapid evolution of the restaurant since its opening.
