Weddings & celebrations

Engagements, weddings,
and every year after

For a wedding, an engagement or a christening, the dining room becomes one long table. We agree the menu with you in advance, prepare the room, and keep the kitchen and the bar yours for the evening.

  • Weddings

    The room, the kitchen and the bar for the whole evening. Tables set to your plan, a menu agreed months ahead, and service that holds its pace until the night ends.

  • Engagements

    The evening two families meet. One long table, plates that keep arriving, and a room worth the photographs.

  • Birthdays & anniversaries

    Baptisms, graduations, a birthday dinner, the anniversary you would rather keep quiet. Same kitchen, same care, whatever the size of the table.
