L'Instant

L'Instant is a contemporary, market-driven seasonal kitchen near the train station that emphasises fresh, well-sourced ingredients and has a reputation for refined, straightforward dishes as a modern interpretation of French market cuisine; recognised by the Guide Michelin (Selected). Set in a 1930s bourgeois residence with contemporary décor, the dining room is intimate and calm, centred on a convivial large central table and featuring a separate room for private group dinners, suiting quiet meals and celebratory gatherings. The cooking is modern, market-focused and seasonal, producing concise, refined plates of fresh local produce using contemporary techniques; menus are offered as seasonal set formulas of two to four courses with occasional supplements for premium items. Chef Olivier Christoffel leads the kitchen and is closely involved in front-of-house service, personally serving guests and advising on wine pairings. Specialties include Foie Gras de Canard Mi-Cuit; Homard Européen rôti (whole roasted lobster); Mousse Chocolat Noir 'Caraïbe' façon Forêt Noire; Asperges Vertes Rôties; Œuf Parfait; Crème d'Ail Noir; Royale de Langoustines; Crème de Carapaces; Pavé d'Omble Chevalier Confit à l'Huile de Nyons.
