Dialogues, Adrien Zedda's new restaurant in Biarritz

Chef Adrien Zedda and his accomplice Thomas Bouanich inaugurate Dialogues, a new address in Biarritz where the flavors of the vegetable garden meet the accents of the sea.

At 11, rue Helder in Biarritz, a stone's throw from the ocean, opens Dialogues, the new project of Adrien Zedda, young virtuoso chef of vegetal cuisine, and Thomas Bouanich, passionate about wine and hospitality. Following the success of Culina Hortus (2 toques) in Lyon, the duo have now set up shop on the Basque coast, with the aim of creating a vibrant dialogue between land and sea.

A double gastronomic stage

Dialogues is built around two distinct but complementary spaces. On one side, La Table du Chef, an intimate 30-cover setting, offers a fine dining experience where plant-based products take center stage, subtly enhanced by marine influences.

On the other hand, La Cave à Manger is a convivial place. from 6pm onwards, this lively venue becomes a meeting place for sharing plates, fine wines and carefully-crafted cocktails. The cuisine remains true to the identity of the place: vegetal, iodized, inspired.

On the cellar side, Dialogues is not to be outdone. Thomas Bouanich has patiently put together a selection of over 500 wines and spirits, ranging from prestigious classics to more confidential vintages.

To conclude this culinary symphony, the desserts are by Margaux Boisson, already pastry chef at Culina Hortus. Here, she continues her elegant, well-balanced approach, with creations designed to resonate with the two ambiances of the venue.

Inspiring career paths

Adrien Zedda, revealed at an early age by his participation in Objectif Top Chef, trained in France before finding his way to Australia, where he refined a vegetal, precise and sustainable cuisine. on his return, he met Thomas Bouanich, a former medical student turned restaurateur after formative trips to Japan, Senegal and Argentina. Together, they forge a humanist vision of catering, based on respect, taste and transmission.

With Dialogues, Biarritz is enriched by a unique gastronomic venue, where cuisine becomes conversation, and where each dish is an invitation to listen to what nature has to say.

20 tables in the countryside

What a long winter it's been! Even if we all enjoy dining out in a cosy atmosphere, sometimes with a roaring fire to warm us up, we have to admit that we've all been waiting for spring. To celebrate the return of this season, synonymous with renewal both in the now verdant countryside and in our finally colorful plates, there's nothing like a selection of 20 tables in the countryside. On the banks of a stream, in the heart of a valley, on a flower-filled terrace, on a square in the shade of a plane tree or on the edge of a forest. enjoy the charms of these "warmly" recommended addresses. Auberge de la Grive, Aisne Nicolas and Cécilia Gautier, whom we've been following for a long time (Nicolas also has the distinction of having twice been elected Jeune Talent, in 2010 when he worked at l'Ardoise, in Ognes, then three years later when he was at the helm of Château d'Esclimont), returned to the heart of Picardy in the summer of 2023. They sold their two other restaurants, Nature and Bistrot RG, in the North of France, to create, in a magnificent country house they fell in love with (and which they now occupy), the Bistrot RG.the two of them work in pairs, facing a dozen or so customers arranged in a U-shape around a central island where the couple are busy. The menus are imposed, of course, but that's the only slight complaint the Gautiers might have. Even if the atmosphere can sometimes take a little time to warm up (it's not always easy to get along with table-mates you haven't chosen), the dishes that follow one another soon cheer up even the sorriest of spirits. The 3 toques are already very close, for the very fine char from Voulpaix lightly confit, lovage and nasturtium, the soft-steamed monkfish (wonderful flesh) with beurre blanc and girolles from Saint-Gobain and the gourmet blonde from Caillouël roasted over the embers. As you can see, Nicolas Gautier still loves working with local produce (and he talks about it with passion), and he doesn't neglect the desserts, which are very elaborate and personalized. The cellar is quite short, but very well focused. Where? 5, rue du Logis, 02300 Trosly-Loire See the Gault&Millau review ofAuberge de la Grive www.aubergedelagrive.com

Does the order in which the wines are tasted matter?

Is it a good idea to drink red before white? Yes, in some cases. At the table, the crescendo of tasting can stray from the beaten path more easily than you might think.
