The partner's word

Racines is the restaurant of Domaine du Lac, set on a six‑hectare wooded park with a pond at the gates of Bourg‑en‑Bresse in Saint‑Denis‑lès‑Bourg. Reopened in 2018 within the family‑owned estate whose presence on the property dates to 1921, the chef returned to his "roots" to sign the cuisine. The site emphasises carefully selected fresh products from local producers and offers cooking workshops and private‑event services. Indoor seating, large terraces, two dining rooms and extensive outdoor space sustain an ambience that highlights nature, tranquillity and a relaxed gastronomic setting. Contemporary gastronomic cuisine focuses on homemade, seasonal gastronomy presented in set menus, and the kitchen aims for refined, gourmand preparations. Chef David Lachavannes brings 15 years' experience, including periods in Paul Bocuse’s Florida kitchens, the Palais de l’Élysée, a head‑chef role in New Zealand and private‑chef positions for high‑profile clients. He is a member of Cuisiniers de la République Française, Euro‑Toques and the Académie Culinaire de France. Specialties include ephemeral three‑formula tasting menus that change according to the chef’s ideas, with menus typically offering two starters, two mains and two desserts across three formule options; market menus, a cheese course and wines available by the glass complete the offering.
