Royer is treating Louise as an ode to homegrown French cooking and will serve such heart-warming fare as sautéed potatoes with Cantal cheese, garlic and parsley (served with an option of black truffle); red wine-braised beef cheek with confit carrots and baby onions; and yoghurt cake with yoghurt ice cream and confit lemon.
For more casual cuisine, there's pâté en croûte and freshly baked madelines. Open from noon, the lounge will offer a selection of cold cuts as well as cheeses from François Bourgon of Toulouse-based artisan cheesemaker Xavier, accompanied by drinks from the bar. Heads up, all gourmands – it's time to skip to Louise.
