Le Pressoir just got even more exciting โ€“ and trust us, thatโ€™s saying something.

Two chefs. One kitchen. Pure magic.

Gabin brings the fire: a young, fearless talent trained alongside some of Franceโ€™s finest, with a restless curiosity and the kind of creativity that makes every dish feel like a discovery. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hubert brings the soul: a friend before anything else, whose experience, sharp instincts and quiet generosity shape a menu that feels both refined and deeply honest. ๐Ÿ’™

Together theyโ€™re writing a new chapter for Le Pressoir: ambitious without losing the elegance, modern without forgetting what made this place special in the first place.

On the plate? Scallops, caviar, lobster, wild turbot, pigeonโ€ฆ ingredients treated with the precision and respect they deserve. Every bite balanced, every flavour intentional.

This is Grand Case at its very best. ๐ŸŒด
