L'Envers du Décor

L'Envers du Décor is a modern French gastronomic restaurant in the centre of Les Herbiers. The kitchen presents composed tasting sequences that emphasise sea flavours, smoked and roasted fruits, worked cheeses and classic French preparations such as confit salmon, risotto, roast sweetbreads and aged beef; several dishes are presented as chef’s signatures. All dishes on the carte and menus are prepared on site “faites maison” from raw products, with beef and ris de veau explicitly sourced from France. The restaurant offers a range of prix‑fixe menus at different lengths and proposes wine‑pairing sequences of three to five glasses. The venue was awarded the title Maître Restaurateur (noted January 2017) and was certified Bib Gourmand by Michelin in January 2018, and the site includes a dedicated page for Aurélien Jousseaume that highlights the team behind the dining concept. Cuisine articulates a philosophy of homemade technique, regional sourcing for key proteins—beef and sweetbreads of French origin—and carefully curated wine pairings that accompany composed tasting sequences. Specialties include L’immersion iodée (sea urchin sabayon with coastal shellfish), Saumon Bomlo confit with haddock‑scented risotto, Le bœuf de nos pâturages (mustard‑crusted beef), Ris de veau rôti (chef’s signature sweetbreads), Brie de Meaux worked in two textures, Chocolate Guanaja 70% dessert and roasted Victoria pineapple.
