A few words from the Chef...

 

« What particularly drives me in my job is to arouse emotion, to create surprise.

Share the pleasure of cooking with the team and communicating it to the guests…

 

This melody at Ardent we play thanks to the living notes of the forest, the flame and our superb vegetable garden. »

Ardent

Restaurant

 

Our restaurant welcomes you for lunch and dinner, on the terrace or indoor, from Thursday evening to Sunday evening, including lunch.

All items on the menu are made using products from our garden, local producers or from specialty houses renowned for their savoir-faire.

Immersed in the forest’s universe, the spirit of his cuisine with local and wild luxury will proceed between authenticity and pure creation. Whatever the place or the moment, you can discover and savor dishes with living flavors, inspired by the surrounding nature and the last crops of our vegetable garden.

Lounge-Bar

 

In the heart of the « Main House » awaits you a friendly and warm space: our living room with fireplace and a bar. The perfect place to prolong an evening, to warm up in winter after a forest bath, to have a drink in love or to meet friends.
Jennifer and her team will be happy to advise you on a cocktail, offer you infusions made with fresh herbs, prepare you a fresh fruit juice or talk about our wine list.

On the walls are paintings and photos of the artists who designed the lodges, as well as a large screen to watch a live event or documentaries about nature and art.

The bar and terrace offer free wifi.

The wine List

 

The wine, a matter of emotions…

This selection only gathers wines that we tasted, valued and re-tasted or pampered in our wine cellar, for a few of them since years. You will find a lot of wines from artists, authors, nature lovers, privileging the “jajalogie” methods rather than chemistry. Without being ayatollahs from Nature, biodynamic cultivation or organic wines, we love committed winemakers and we are convinced that the ground has to be tilled, that weeds are an attitude of mind and that quantity is not always conciliable with quality. We love winemakers and wines that express their terroirs. We hope to share this point of view with you thank to those bottles picked with love and generosity.
