La Toq' also stands out for its cellar, a passion of the house, rich in several hundred references, from small regional producers to great French estates.

The dining room plays a hushed card, between century-old stone arches and contemporary notes, well suited to a business lunch or a romantic dinner. Together it makes an elegant address without being stiff, where you feel good for a slightly special meal.
