Spelt Restaurant. Tourette sur Loup. On a cold and Spelt Restaurant. Tourette sur Loup.
On a cold and wet day in April on the French Riviera.
Delightful experience at @spelt_restaurant with ch Delightful experience at @spelt_restaurant with chef @raphaelgrima using his experience working in London to combine international flavours.

Love how he infuses broth with herbs using various heating techniques.

After working with many Michelin starred chefs and Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, he came back to Vence, his hometown, and settled down in a hilltop medieval village: Tourette sur Loup.

Amazing degustation menu including foie gras, lobster and spelt risotto (his signature dish), pigeon,  turbo fish and dessert crafted by his partner, a talented cheffe pâtissière with less sugar and a variety of textures. 

We bet he might get a 🌟 next year.
