Gastronomic catering
A cooking made in the traditional way with recipes since the 5th to the 19th century!
Au singulier Musée de la Gourmandise, « Al Rawète »est un restaurant totalement voué à la cuisine à l’ancienne et aux plats de terroir. Ceci avec des repas-découvertes de recettes oubliées ou remises à l’honneur dont des recettes du Ve siècle ! Une vraie destination pour amateur d’histoire et de savoir.
