Gastronomic package

Highlighting the wonderful products that abound in the native land, products used for millennia by the First Nations, this is the vision of the restaurant La Traite. Like a naviguator, Marc de Passorio, brings together the knowledge of his brigade, his travels, and his many encounters with different indigenous nations in order to make you discover, in a new way, the riches offered by Mother Earth.

 

“I like to tell myself that the products speak for themselves. My role as leader, as well as my brigade, is to make them travel to the rhythm of my journeys around the world, to involve them and succeed in expressing their potential while maintaining the values ​​of indigenous peoples guided by respect for nature. I wish you all a great discovery of our universe to meet this native land full of richness. »
