A great experience with chef Gérald, who took us step by step through a delicious sea bream recipe. Along the way, we learned some useful basics in a friendly atmosphere. To be repeated!

A pleasant and enjoyable time. Around the recipe for duck parmentier, the host explained many technical or decorative gestures, and the reason for what was being done. Tasting at the end.

Great: the activity is run by highly competent, friendly and educational staff. The equipment and utensils used are of good quality. In addition to learning a recipe, we learn lots of little tricks and the icing on the cake is that we taste the preparation at the end of the workshop. Great ♥️
