Discover Franck Quinton’s gourmet cuisine
“My cooking is instinctive and I want it to match the wonder of nature itself. I feel that my tagline: “Nature et Naturel” fits very well.”
These few words from Franck Quinton say it all. Having fun. Playing with the unexpected and the surprising, changing the menu according to the season, the treasures unearthed and the inspiration of the moment. Revisiting regional flavours while respecting the authenticity and freshness of the produce. Offering a personal cuisine that is creative, tasty and influenced by the forest. This is the Chef's guiding principle.
Franck Quinton loves to share his passion: “What I like most about my job is the people. Meeting people. Discussions”. His cuisine is both human and sophisticated. This subtle alchemy begins with a stroll in the forest, foraging with the smells of the minty scent of Douglas fir. It also takes in the stalls of local producers, breeders, dairy farmers and cheesemakers. Franck Quinton knows these long-standing partners personally. This passion for fresh seasonal produce and regional flavours is, of course, the guiding principle behind the work carried out in the kitchen. At every service, the whole team brings this infectious enthusiasm and deep love of hospitality to life on the plate. For your enjoyment.
Yvon Lebailly’s wine cellar
Yvon Lebailly, Franck Quinton’s brother-in-law and Head Sommelier, passionately selects the best vintages to accompany the ambitious menu.
Over 20 years, he has put together a wine list for Le Manoir du Lys restaurant that includes more than 650 wines and 10,000 bottles, based on his encounters with winegrowers, wine merchants and sommelier friends.
“For me, a wine is first and foremost the winegrower, the terroir, the particular winegrowing. A wine has to be balanced and easy to drink. My job is to match it with Franck's cooking”.
In perfect harmony with the Chef's cuisine, the selection of wines is unique and exquisite.
The Aldo Paolucci bar
Savour a cup of tea or a glass of champagne at any time in Le Manoir du Lys**** lounge bar, and you’ll enjoy this English club atmosphere enhanced by the works of Italian visual artist Aldo Paolucci.
His works can be found throughout the Manoir. In the bar, feast your eyes on his work, but there’s also plenty to tempt your taste buds.
You can sample a wide range of calvados, whiskies and rums, as well as excellent cocktails. There are two comfortable areas to choose from, depending on the season: the cosy fireside in autumn, or the lush parkland setting when the weather is fine.
A piano is available for music lovers.
