The partner's word

AinTimiste in the medieval village of Poncin presents an intimate, sensorily focused concept. The kitchen prioritises product respect, simple controlled cooking and textured storytelling on the plate, maintains close relations with artisans and suppliers across the Ain and neighbouring regions, and menus evolve constantly with arrivals and the chef’s inspiration; craftsmanship—bespoke pottery, cutlery and recycled wood decor—frames the guest experience. The warm, luminous dining room centres on an open kitchen beneath an exceptional light well, with warm‑coloured armchairs, marble‑effect tabletops, antique tiling and artworks by local artisans. In fine weather a terrace framed by vine stocks opens onto a charming village lane, and a private salon seats six for discreet occasions. The cuisine is modern, creative and product‑led, following an instinctive, seasonal tasting‑menu approach that celebrates local terroir and seasonal market produce sourced from a network of trusted regional producers. Dishes reinterpret regional references with refined technique and playful, surprising combinations; the offer is not suited to vegan diets and is only lightly adaptable to gluten‑free regimes. Jérôme Busset, Michelin‑starred chef, shaped his culinary identity through family influences and an atypical path including front‑of‑house and sommellerie before committing fully to the kitchen; he opened AinTimiste in 2023 and was awarded his first Michelin star in 2024. Specialities include revisited escargots with whipped cervelle des canuts and red‑wine‑cassis sauce; menu‑surprise tasting menus at lunch and as multi‑course Signature dinners; a Signature cheese dish inspired by the Ramequin du Bugey; and extensive wine pairings from a 150+ reference wine list.
