maison akene

“achenes small winter flakes
magical flowers that scatter the egrets into the air

which of propellers in delights
grant your wishes
blow, smile, shiver
be happy
you are the magicians of Mother Nature
may these little wonders last
like a long silk thread
“solid and tender at the same time”

- traduced from a poem

of Silion Keila -

INES AND ISMA'IL, A LOVE JOURNEY

 

for many years, as team members in the brigades of major houses and in their first home, empreinte in lambersart, ismail and inès guerre-genton have refined their art. a journey rich in learning, at the end of which they wanted to imagine their own universe, nourished by the same requirements, but with their own identity.

a restaurant unlike any other for cuisine unlike any other. the sensitivity of the two companions and their complementarity find an ideal setting in the heart of ardres.

A CRAFTSMAN'S TABLE

seasonality and respect for
products are inseparable from the philosophy of the maison akene.

resolutely plant-based, the unique menu concocted by Ismail is an ode to naturalness. the emotion is constantly palpable, as well as a beautiful generosity.

A DIVERSIFIED CELLAR

macerations rub shoulders with great appellations, beers and cocktails
often complement the pairing suggestions, on the edge of balance and letting go, always in harmony with the chef's intense compositions and leading each guest towards discovery, without rushing the taste buds.

moments

passion and sharing at the heart of our history.

a gastronomic staging,
a unique parenthesis,
in which we share our vision of current restoration,

of our land and territory.

an instinctive, creative and elegant cuisine of emotions guided by nature and plants,
having as its source work
passionate people who surround us.
