Aaron Patterson

Head Chef Aaron Patterson is a meticulous craftsman and an exuberant artist. He loves to cook and has assembled a great team of like-minded enthusiasts. The menu is strongly seasonal. Starting with truffles in January, wild salmon, asparagus, herbs and salads from the hotel's own garden, grouse, Scottish ceps and chantrelles, partridge and woodcock are found at their proper time. The starting point for all Aaron Patterson's creations is a respect for great ingredients and classical combinations.

Service

Aaron Patterson's efforts would be wasted without his ambassadors in the restaurant whose role it is to help guests find the dishes they will enjoy most and orchestrate the smooth progression of their meals. The wine list is a joy, coupled with the unparalleled sommeliership of Dominique Baduel who will recommend the perfect choice of wine to compliment every meal.
