The house

Thirty-five years under the stone vaults

You go down a few steps and the street goes quiet behind the door. The cellar is stone, fully restored, and cheese has been served down here for more than thirty-five years, two minutes from Place Rossetti. The room is small. People come as a couple for a slow dinner, or as a table of friends around one caquelon.

Aged cheeses and natural wines

The board of aged cheeses is €16.50, served with the homemade bread. It opens the meal or it closes it, as you like. Natural wines are chosen bottle by bottle, and the pairing is settled at the table, as the meal goes on.
