The story
At Vivants, the experience is built on trust. The team proposes a menu “à l’aveugle” – a blind tasting that unfolds in three, four, or five courses, depending on your appetite. The kitchen works with well-sourced, seasonal products, letting the ingredients speak for themselves. The result is a sincere, modern cuisine that brings raw, authentic flavours to the table.
The dining room is described as chiné et chaleureux – a thoughtfully curated space filled with vintage finds. It’s a setting that feels both personal and relaxed, allowing the food to take centre stage. This approach has earned Vivants a Michelin Recommended mention, a nod to the clarity and honesty of the cooking.
Wine is integral to the meal. Vivants offers a list of around 800 references, focused on committed, precise vignerons. It’s designed to appeal to purists and curious newcomers alike, with bottles that complement the seasonal menu without overwhelming it.
On Fridays only, Vivants shifts gears for lunch with a simpler, more spontaneous formula. In the spirit of a classic bistro, guests choose between entrée-plat, plat-dessert, or the full three-course set. The menu changes weekly and is revealed on Instagram each Thursday – a small, welcoming ritual that keeps locals coming back.
Whether for a full blind dinner or a relaxed Friday lunch, Vivants is a place that invites you to rediscover gastronomy in its most direct, unpretentious form.
