Christophe Pauly at Le Coq aux Champs is described as a "true craftsman... Between precision and refinement, the chef manages to transform each product - all high quality - through subtle textures and flavours, with a preference for sweet and sour nuances. A special mention for the wine water who also provided an excellent service. This Ardennes house sparkles!" by the Michelin Guide

And "Since 1997, Sang Hoon Degeimbre has raised the concept of foodpairing (marriage of ingredients) to an art form; relying on new techniques, he plays on flavours and textures, creating highly original, graphic and flavoursome dishes. In this old farm, he also offers pleasant rooms. Enough to experience a true culinary adventure!" at l'Air de Temps can also be read in the Guide.

Enough to delight everyone's tastebuds!
