La Table - Boire & Manger, French restaurant in Metz, France
La Table - Boire & Manger is a French restaurant in Metz, France, located at 12 rue Sainte-Marie in a quiet street near the city center. The simple facade leads to a cozy dining room in the basement with about thirty seats and an open kitchen where chefs work in plain view.
The restaurant was opened in 2023 by Eduardo Moraes, a chef from the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil. Before settling in Metz, he spent years working in London and later came to France to deepen his knowledge of French cooking, which shaped the style of the kitchen.
The open kitchen makes the craft of cooking visible, so guests can watch ingredients being handled from their seats. The focus on seasonal products and a short wine list chosen with a local shop reflects a local habit of valuing freshness over show.
The restaurant closes on Sundays and Wednesdays, so plan your visit around those days. Lunch service is simpler and faster, while dinner offers a slower, more varied pace in the quiet basement room away from the street.
Diners eat in a basement room, a layout that creates a sense of retreat just a few steps from the busy streets above. The chef's background in Brazilian and London kitchens shows up in small touches, like romesco-style sauces and fruit-based desserts.
