The house
of the living, in Nyon
Every day, nature writes our menu. We cook what the season whispers — to share, at lunch and dinner.
Taste it, take it home, share the living.
One place, three pleasures: seasonal cooking that changes every day, a fine grocery to take away, and a cellar of honest wines — organic, biodynamic, or simply true.

“Here, everything is tasted, everything is told, everything can be taken home. A house of the living, born from the love of sharing — natural, elegant and deeply human.”
The people
who welcome you
Behind every plate, every bottle and every “hello”: a small team that loves to host. In the kitchen, Benjamin composes with the market, backed by Basile; in the dining room, Florian and Sébastien take the time to tell you what you're tasting — Sébastien looks after the selection of living wines. And all around us, the artisans and winemakers we know by their first name.
