The Cuisine
A Cuisine
that Intrigues...
Constantly searching for different tastes and flavors, Chef Cabasson's cuisine is made up of improbable marriages that intrigue.
One is seduced by the sensibility of the associations, the joy of the unexpected, and the great delight of the improbable.
This play between local products and subtle influences from other cultures creates a cuisine that is both authentic and modern, which speaks of memories and at the same time creates new ones.
"I take great pleasure in creating a moment of reflection, of questioning, a touch of suspense on the plate to delight customers..."
- Chef Bastien Cabasson
that is Inspired...
A Cuisine
At L’ALCÔVE inspiration surrounds us, brought by nature - an inexhaustible source. It starts with the visual, natural and bright colors; the patterns; textures; light, which together create a symphony for the eyes, as well as for the palet.
Inspiration is also found in the seasons. This cyclical, natural rhythm offers us wonderful things each day. Chef Cabasson is passionate about working in harmony and honouring the different seasons and moments in nature.
His travels have offered him the opportunity to learn about different cultures, to open up to new scents, flavors, and culinary techniques and to apply them in his own creations.
At every opportunity Chef Cabasson continues to travel to discover new sources of inspiration that contribute to his intriguing cuisine.
"Inspiration comes, most of the time, outside of the kitchen itself. It happens in the forest, by the sea, between the grape vines, when we are connected with nature..."
- Chef Bastien Cabasson
A Cuisine
that Adaptes...
It is important that L’ALCÔVE also offers vegetarian dishes that honour seasonal fruits and vegetables.
It is a cuisine that remains flexible for its customers.
"It’s a real pleasure to work with vegetables and fruits and put them in the spotlight, as important as noble products, and not just a secondary thought..."
- Chef Bastien Cabasson
A Respectful
Cuisine...
At the heart of L'ALCÔVE's authentic cuisine is respect - respect for the product, the seasons, the savoir-faire of producers and artisans, the techniques, and for the place.
One is fortunate to be able to work with such a wealth of local produce. The cuisine at L’ALCÔVE always comes alive with the rhythm of the seasons and there is a strong connection with the local region.
The farm-to-table approach allows one to preserve taste and flavors as much as possible, while retaining all the nutrients, all the while reducing one’s impact on nature.
