At the Chef’s table

A Contre-courant

sicily as heritage, the alps on the horizon

“À Contre Courant” is a true score of flavours designed to surprise and move. Entirely renewed every month, this menu is enjoyed blind, inviting guests to step off the beaten track and let go of their certainties to be carried by the moment.

Christophe Pulizzi plays with paradoxes and preconceptions, blending refinement and boldness. He revisits tripe, for example, often seen as rustic, pairing it with a delicate orange jelly that softens and reinvents its texture. Citrus, the hallmark of his culinary identity, slips into every sequence of the menu, as zest, infusion or sauce, signing the plate with a sunny, unexpected touch.

“À Contre Courant” is also an ode to the land. Symbolically following the course of the Durance, from the calanques to the Alpine peaks, the chef celebrates the diversity of the landscapes and the richness of the producers who feed his cooking. A sensory immersion where the tangy notes of citrus meet the scents of the garrigue, hints of the sea and the freshness of the heights.
“À Contre Courant” is not simply a menu. All that matters is the moment: that first bite which questions, surprises, then seduces.

Through it, the chef does not only seek to feed. He tells a story, shares an emotion, offers a moment suspended in time. It is a culinary experience at once instinctive and considered, where tradition and modernity meet, with a zest of daring.
