Dining
The Chef's Table
In the medieval part of La Mirande, there is a hidden treasure: the historical kitchen and its wooden stove. In the friendly atmosphere of the ancient kitchen of the 19th century, equipped with a still working cast iron wood-fired furnace. A share table for a "return from the market" menu cooked as you watch. Available from Tuesday to Saturday for dinner.
Le Marmiton - Cooking School
Since 1994, La Mirande’s cooking school, “Le Marmiton”, hosts the region’s greatest chefs. One week per month, they will invite you to join them in the old kitchen where they will cook on the 19 century wood-fired stove. The area’s gourmets, young and old alike, appreciate these entertaining moments when know-hows and kitchen tips are transmitted in a place filled with history. Aprons, utensils and spec sheets are provided at the start of the class which finishes with a sampling meal accompanied by wines chosen by the sommelier. Novice chefs will have the pleasure of inviting friends to join them round the table and share in the lunch or dinner they have prepared.
Tea Time
Every afternoon, in the glass-covered patio or on the terrace, a buffet of home-made 100% organic pastries are prepared by the pastry chef. Madeleines, gingerbread, almong croquants, poppy seed cakes, chocolate fondants and seasonal fruit tarts are baked and served with hot chocolate prepared in the traditional way or with exceptional teas selected by La Mirande, some of which are organically grown. Let us not forget the KOMBUCHA, a drink that appeared thousands of years ago probably in China, made of fermented tea which appeared in Eastern Europe in the 19th century. In fashion in Italy in the 1950s. Sparkling drink served chilled. Our espresso coffee is also organic and comes from Mexico. 100% Arabica, it is very delicate and slightly acid. With a library composed of many art books, La Mirande also receives a few French and foreign newspapers at the guests’ disposal.
