Table of sharing and emotion
A simple, lively summer table
Across from the Basilica of Saint-Martin d’Ainay, L’Artichaut welcomes you with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
For summer, the table takes on a lighter feel: tablecloths give way to placemats, hand-blown green water glasses add a unique, artisanal touch, and the terrace invites guests to linger into the evening on the Abbey’s pedestrian plaza.
A table designed for sharing, taking your time, and enjoying the season.
Seasonal Cuisine, by Arthur Laeuffer and his team
Local, plant-based, relevant
Arthur Laeuffer and his team create a vibrant cuisine inspired by market-fresh ingredients, the seasons, and the local producers around them.

Here, every dish has been designed to be enjoyed simply, with enthusiasm, and without pretension.
