     A dish made with heartfelt care

    Our culinary journey begins with the careful selection of ingredients.

    e are proud to feature the best of local produce alongside select imports from France, ingredients close to our hearts.

    Our ultimate goal is to craft dishes that not only delight but also create lasting memories for our valued guests.

    Orchestrating a Dining Experience of Joy

    Nestled atop a small hill in southwestern France lies the charming town of Saint-Émilion.

    Preserving its historic medieval character, the town is surrounded by sprawling vineyards.

    This beautiful town once flourished as a pilgrimage route for Christians and is now a designated World eritage Site.

    We have named our restaurant after this small, beloved town, hoping to provide our guests with delicious cuisine and heartwarming hospitality.
