L’Épisode is an ideal place to reconnect with nature. Located in the heart of Domaine de Waillimont, the restaurant enjoys a peaceful and protected setting that feels almost timeless. This close relationship with nature is reflected in the cuisine of young Chef Jordan Boreux. His “Suspense” menu demonstrates a clear sensitivity to pure plant cooking, with vegetables and aromatic herbs taking centre stage. The estate’s own garden provides much of the inspiration, adding freshness and a strong sense of place to the dishes. Local sourcing is another important part of the philosophy, with a genuine commitment to working with small producers and showcasing the quality of their products. Vegetables are treated as an essential part of the cuisine rather than simply an alternative. A little more depth in some dishes and pairings would further strengthen the experience, but the potential is clear. Chef Boreux has a distinctive vision and is well on his way to taking his plant-focused cuisine even further.
