Le Relais des Peintres

Le Relais des Peintres is a bistronomic restaurant located in a historic 17th-century building in Auvers-sur-Oise. Originally one of the first inns on the northern road from Paris, the establishment offers a view of the church steeple that inspired one of Vincent van Gogh's most famous paintings. The owners have transformed the site into a refined destination, combining elegant, contemporary decor with a strong sense of place and conviviality. The restaurant embodies the concept of bistronomy, merging the spirit of a bistro with the sophistication of French gastronomy. Brothers Sergio and Damiano Pastoressa, after their success with Le Chemin des Peintres, took over the former Hostellerie du Nord to offer generous cuisine rooted in authenticity and artisanal creativity. The venue welcomes diners for family meals, reunions with friends or colleagues, as well as special celebrations such as weddings and professional achievements. Chef Sergio Pastoressa, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, creates unique taste experiences by combining traditional flavors with modern touches. He places a strong emphasis on meticulous selection of ingredients, prioritizing local and seasonal produce. The menu features dishes such as lightly seared lobster, saddle of lamb, cod in a nori crust, refined desserts, and a vegetarian option, reflecting his commitment to quality and creativity.
