Rhizome

Rhizome is a locavore restaurant founded in 2018 after its owners returned to their Picard roots following many travels and professional experiences. Menus include weekday lunch formulas and multi-course dinner options, with tasting/prix-fixe offers such as a weekday lunch, a discovery lunch and a three-course dinner. Customers single out refined, delicate and well-balanced cooking and attentive service, and the establishment is noted in guides (distinction: SELECTED). The dining room is cosy and cocoon-like, offering a soft, home-like ambiance that feels intimate and welcoming. The kitchen is committed to a seasonal, local and "living" cuisine presented as faithful to the region—peasant, wild and generous—while adopting a modern approach cited as "cuisine moderne". It sources all products from within 200 km of Compiègne and favours responsible, organic or reasoned agriculture. Dishes are creative, delicate and change according to arrivals. Specialties include scallops with Jerusalem artichoke cream and glazed salsify; paleron of beef with confit pleurotes and seasonal vegetables; cod with brown-butter cauliflower and cockles; pigeon prepared two ways with stuffed cabbage; and raviole of escargot with wild garlic.
