The partner's word

Maison Akène is a small, craft-led restaurant in Ardres, founded and run by Inès and Ismaïl Guerre-Genton, who refined their skills in the brigades of major houses and in a first establishment in Lambersart before returning to the region. The house offers a single evolving tasting-menu format, from a three-course surprise lunch to an eight-sequence carte blanche, that aims to create an emotional, generous and intense flavour experience. Maison Akène accepts groups, designs personalised offers for events and is recognised in the Michelin Guide selection for its modern cuisine approach. An intimate, artisan space blends discreet sophistication with touches of luxury and voluptuousness; seating includes a separate "upper room" (salle haute) recommended for guests preferring to avoid the main staircase. The kitchen presents seasonal, plant-forward cuisine focused on naturality and strong, dense flavours through tasting sequences. Chef Ismaïl Guerre-Genton leads the kitchen. Specialities include seasonal plant-forward tasting menus: Spontané (three-sequence surprise lunch), Bourgeon (four sequences), Floraison/Bloom (six sequences) and Akène (eight-sequence carte blanche); optional beverage pairings, with or without alcohol, draw from a diversified cellar of macerations, great appellations, beers, cocktails and considered non-alcoholic options.
