The story
De Vous à Nous brings a grounded approach to French cuisine in Montigny-le-Tilleul, where chef François Duvivier has led the kitchen since 2005. His foundation rests on a top culinary diploma from the Institut Notre Dame in Fleurus, which shaped a repertoire built on precise technique and seasonal sourcing. Every plate begins with produce delivered straight from Paris’s Rungis market, ensuring the daily offerings reflect true market availability. This commitment to fresh ingredients keeps the menu dynamic while maintaining a consistent standard of classic French cooking.
The tasting menu guides guests through carefully balanced courses, starting with raw preparations like linefish ceviche dressed in mango, avocado, and a tiger sauce reduction. Cooked proteins follow a similarly structured path, featuring smoked duck breast paired with roasted apricots and a thyme-infused carrot mousse. Main choices include a pure Holstein beef fillet served with aubergine caviar and a rich Choron sauce, alongside sea bass prepared with gnocchi and a champagne emulsion. Each dish reflects the kitchen’s preference for layered flavors and precise execution.
Guests enter a warm, green-draped interior designed for unhurried conversation across every meal service. The space accommodates both casual midday visits and longer evening gatherings without losing its intimate scale. A carefully curated wine list runs alongside the food program, with staff readily offering pairing suggestions tailored to each course. This balance of comfort and attention to detail aligns well with the recognition earned from Gault&Millau, reflecting a steady dedication to refined yet accessible dining.
