Philosophy
We cook with what the season allows and the fire decides. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is wasted.
Our kitchen has no gas. Everything is cooked over beech, oak or vine cuttings — the only way we know how.

The chef
“Fire is the oldest technique we have. After twenty years, I’m still learning it.”
Trained in Copenhagen and San Sebastián, Elias came home in 2019 to open a restaurant without a gas line. Every dish at Noir starts with the same question: what can the fire do that nothing else can?
The experience
Three rooms, one evening.
II
The Cellar
Under the vaulted brick, pairings and aperitifs before dinner — or a long last glass after it.
III
The Private Room
Twelve guests, one table, one menu written for the occasion. Available Sunday and Monday.
Reservations
Your table, tonight.
Bookings open sixty days ahead, at noon. For groups larger than eight, ask about the private room.
