“I am often asked what a Brasserie Blanc really is, well if the
Manoir is a delicate waltz then the Brasseries are the Can Can. For
sure, this is not a place for refined haute cuisine and three course
meals. Rather, Brasserie Blanc is a place for relaxed enjoyment where
I can offer you simple, high quality food that comes as close as possible
to the meals that my mother prepared for me at home in Besançon and
at a price that encourages you to visit us regularly. The real origins
of French brasseries are lost in time and probably in several litres
of beer but nowadays in France they are the bastions of good eating
and drinking, locally and informally. I want my Brasserie Blancs to
be a central part of the local community where you can have fun and
enjoy particularly good food. So sit back and relax”
