French starters

French starters form the elegant beginning of a meal. They are refined yet never complicated, with respect for the ingredient and a balance between freshness, creaminess and depth. From simple salads and terrines to warm classics with egg, vegetables or fish, each dish sets the tone for what follows, with attention to flavour, season and tradition.
