Damien Migeon and his wife Aurélie founded the restaurant with a focus on traditional family cooking approaches. The handcrafted fireplace comes from the Auvergne region, anchoring the space in regional craftsmanship traditions.
The name translates to 'The Fireplace' and reflects how wood-fire cooking sits at the heart of the kitchen's identity. This tradition shapes both how food is prepared and how diners experience their meal together.
