L'Atelier des Augustins

After stints in the kitchens of top establishments and the French embassies of London and Bamako, Nicolas Guilloton has turned his ‘workshop’ into a stylish, contemporary venue. The African masks decorating the spacious dining area are a nod to the chef's time in Mali. With Thomas Belval, his steadfast right-hand man, he delights diners with surprise menus that showcase his flair for balanced flavours and his commitment to locally sourced ingredients. The resulting repertory is original, high-flying, filled with flavour and demonstrates a savvy style when it comes to veggies. The lunchtime menu is a steal. The wine cellar reflects a genuine quest for eco-responsible producers.
