The house

Bringing people together, and turning every meal into an occasion.

Produce chosen the same morning, a menu written for each table, and service discreet enough to disappear. From an intimate dinner to a full reception, at your home or on board.

01  —  Raw

Carpaccio
& marinades

Finely sliced sea bream, local raspberries, toasted buckwheat and lime zest. A first course that sets the tone: clean, briny, straight to the point.

02  —  Canapés

Lobster
& golden brioche

Home-made brioche toasted in butter, lobster meat, herb mayonnaise. The cocktail bites that keep a standing aperitif going well into the evening.

03  —  Pâtisserie

Strawberry, vanilla
& lime

Breton shortbread, piped vanilla cream, strawberries and raspberries set one by one. Dessert is treated like everything else: made to order, never the day before.

04  —  The hand

Precision,
down to the last slice

Apples cut on the mandoline, the rosette laid by hand. What you see on the plate is first of all a matter of patience.

In Pauline's words

Why I cook

Cooking has been my first passion for as long as I can remember. My mother would happily tell you about the yoghurt cake I made all on my own at the age of six. I have come a long way since, with the same intention: to bring people together and turn every meal into an occasion.

I do this work because I love giving people pleasure and memories. Families and friends gather around a table, and it becomes a real moment of sharing. Choosing good produce matters enormously to me: it is the foundation of good cooking.

The other thing I love about being a private chef is the exchange with the people I cook for. Children laughing as they circle the table, more serious conversations with their parents. All of that is a large part of the passion that has become my profession.

My second passion is motorbikes — though I am not sure that detail counts.
