Inside Aurevil's Award-Winning Restaurant
April 20, 2025

Our head chef shares the inspiration behind our seasonal tasting menus and the philosophy that guides every signature dish.
The restaurant at Aurevil cooks one menu, seasonal and small. Eight courses, thirty-two seats, six nights a week. The kitchen garden — four hectares behind the house — supplies most of what arrives on the plate.
Our head chef trained in Lyon, Tokyo, and the Basque country, but the menu is unmistakably local. The philosophy is simple: the best ingredient, treated with the lightest possible hand, and served at the moment it is ready.
We were honoured this year with our second consecutive recognition from the World Restaurant Awards. The team's response was, as ever, characteristically restrained — and back in the kitchen by service the following evening.
“Luxury is not in possessing many things — it is in the careful attention paid to each one that you do.”
A note from the team
Every story we share on this blog is rooted in the daily life of Aurevil — the people, the gardens, the kitchen, and the quiet hours between services. We hope they offer a small window into the house, and an invitation to join us in person.
