Papilles
Simple, modern French restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide, cooking seasonal local produce and pairing it with wines from small estates.
Located on Rue Carnot in Poitiers and recommended by the Michelin Guide. Chef Sébastien Boireau comes from a family of restaurateurs, left the trade for a time, and then returned to the kitchen. The restaurant is clean and elegant, and the food is equally restrained and fresh, using seasonal local produce and wines from small growers. Dishes mentioned by Michelin include thinly sliced scallops and veal tenderloin with carrot purée and blood orange juice. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Dinner and some lunch services are offered; phone reservations are required, and a meal costs about €50–70 per person.
