We would adopt "dirty kids" like that every day, so good and inventive is the cooking! This enfant terrible has something to please... A good table in La Roche-sur-Yon to discover: The brat. Frédéric Hervé opened his restaurant 2 years ago, and very quickly became one of the best restaurants in Yonne. Behind a pretty anthracite facade, an airy contemporary setting, with parquet flooring, benches and modern furniture, and a large convivial table d'hôtes for meals with friends. Situated a stone's throw from Place Nap', and the church of Saint-Louis, this young chef has made his mark in big houses such as that of Thierry Drapeau in La Chabotterie, Coutanceau in La Rochelle. No menu, but the slate and its suggestions of five starters, main courses and desserts. Good point also for the lunch formula at 16 €. The day of our passage: soft-boiled egg with earth and sea flavours, beef tongue with ginger, or a copious roasted monkfish, before tasting the first strawberries in a dessert where it is declined in a cabbage, or a financier. We advise you to make a reservation. www.petitfute.com
