01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At epice, vegetables shape the meal from the first course through to dessert. Visitors have described colourful plates of vegetable-rich starters and vegetable terrine, alongside dishes made with seasonal ingredients. The special lunch course includes vegetable terrine and potage, seasonal seafood, the meat dish of the month and a seasonal dessert.

One lunch began with a salad served with scallops, followed by apple and sweet potato potage and a steak of Yoro pork. The diner noted that a savoury choux pastry accompanied the cold appetisers, and praised the sauce with the warm vegetable sides as well as the pork’s tender, moist texture. The listed lunch course comprises an assorted appetiser plate, vegetable potage, seasonal seafood and a meat dish, followed by coffee or tea. Dessert can be added as an extra.

For a meal that continues through to something sweet, the special lunch course also includes a seasonal dessert. Another visitor wrote about panna cotta served with marinated strawberries—a thoughtful finish to a meal centred on vegetables.

There is also a visitor’s report of a generous selection of wines by the glass, with options to match the food. One diner mentioned visiting with a dog; the restaurant’s information says dogs are allowed indoors. If you are planning to bring yours, check the conditions when booking.
