Let’s begin!

If you are ready to completely immerse yourself in a unique experience, you must try the Foodlab for sure! Not only a culinary experience but also an artistic one: located inside the Société des Arts Technologiques, it’s the obvious choice for the local artists and designers passing by. The cuisine, redefined by the chef Timothy Vielajus, chose the motto “from the earth to the table” to give attention to the responsible role taken by the gastronomic scenery. Do we need to say more?
