Cooking style

The restaurant of Auberge du Bon Laboureur is a traditionnal french cuisine which has been updated.
Top quality seasonal products contributed to the authencity of the preparations.
Simples and tasty dishes are fundamental.
I do not understand a recipe kitchen with more than three main flavours.
