The partner's word
Aroma is a modern, creative restaurant in Les Herbiers offering seasonally driven cuisine prepared from fresh, local ingredients. The team — Adeline and François — trained at the Saumur hospitality school and gained experience at Le Château de Candie and Atmosphères before opening Aroma. The restaurant emphasizes a short, frequently renewed carte to ensure freshness and to reflect market availability. Aroma holds the Maître Restaurateur title (awarded 26 November 2013 and renewed in 2017 and 2021), a recognition of homemade cooking and a commitment to quality using predominantly fresh produce. The kitchen works closely with local producers — vegetable growers, cheesemakers, chocolatiers, poultry and foie gras producers, beekeepers and others — who supply products daily. The team publishes special event menus, for example a New Year’s Eve menu. The restaurant is noted in local press and is selected by the Michelin Guide for modern cuisine.
Aroma delivers modern, creative French cooking focused on fresh, seasonal produce and a short, market-driven menu. Techniques include classic preparations alongside contemporary touches and occasional international influences, for example Thai-style broths.
Specialties include langoustine velouté, pan-seared foie gras terrine, gravlax-style marinated salmon with beets, fish of the day with Thai-style broth and seaweed tartare, slow-cooked organic duck leg with polenta, and a chocolate soufflé-style dessert.
