The partner's word

Il était une fois toi et moi is a small restaurant in Arquennes. The venue is run by Valérie Hubert and Mathieu Lisart, who after several years working in different houses now welcome guests. The team highlights local suppliers on the menu, for example boudin noir from “Léon”, cheeses from the fromagerie Pascal Fauville and an Ardennes beurre blanc. Fish preparation depends on the return of small fishing boats, reflecting a focus on fresh, sourced ingredients. The restaurant was awarded a Bib Gourmand distinction. Guests can choose three- and four-course menus, a children’s menu and wine-pairing supplements, and take-away is also offered. The place is characterised by a homey atmosphere, attention to local producers and a concise but varied menu that includes both classical preparations and contemporary compositions. A cosy, warm dining room provides an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen presents French cooking that combines classic repertoire with modern touches; menus emphasise seasonal, freshly sourced ingredients and include set menus, a chef’s Free Style five-course option and specific lunch formulas. Specialities include Javanais of foie gras with gingerbread and arabica; Tataki of red tuna and beef with kiwi and sesame; Lobster bavarois with fresh herb salad and passion fruit; Medallions of red mullet with crispy sweetbreads, cauliflower and herring caviar; Pork tasting “Dans le cochon tout est bon” (multiple pork preparations); and Chocolate fondant with peanut core and Snickers ice cream.
