we had lunch in Pomerol at La Table de Catusseau.

La Table de Catusseau in Pomerol

Run and owned by Chef Kendji Wongsodikromo and his wife, Nadège, La Table de Catusseau is among the top restaurants in the area. It is in the Bib Gourmand category in the Guide Michelin.

Pomerol - A Wine Region to Savor: Not starred, but quite possibly the most visually pleasing, is La Terrasse Rouge at Château La Dominique, a brooding Jean Nouvel-designed restaurant with a roof terrace. And La Table de Catusseau, set amid the châteaux of Pomerol, is run by chef-owner  A simple open stonework dining room belies Wongsodikromo’s talent in the kitchen, where he makes market-fresh ingredients into dishes inspired by his native New Caledonia, north of New Zealand.

La Table de Catusseau: Chef Kendji Wongsodikromo offers his bistronomic cuisine based on fresh seasonal produce . New Caledonian, who arrived in France at the age of 15, he studied at Jean Claude Tellechea in Bayonne and then at Rolland Mazeres at the Centennial in Les Eyzies de Tayac and in various family houses in the South West recognized by the Guide Red. Today, Kendji Wongsodikromo, installed since March 2015 in Pomerol in La Table de Catusseau, he practices a modern kitchen using fresh seasonal products highlighting the flavor and tastes. A typical French country restaurant in the heart of the famous village of Pomerol.

Guide Michelin 2019

Le mot de l'inspecteur: Tout le monde en parle ! A la tête de ce restaurant, Kendji Wongsodikromo, un chef-patron né en Nouvelle-Calédonie, et tombé amoureux du Sud-Ouest... et de Nadège, son épouse, en salle. Ils ont du métier et cela se sent : la belle cuisine du marché, mitonnée avec soin, est goûteuse et assume son ancrage régional. À déguster dans une sympathique salle à manger, habillée de pierres blondes régionales, et de baies vitrées façon véranda. En bonne place également, une cheminée destinée aux grillades. L'été, la terrasse est une alternative réjouissante. Une bien jolie adresse.

Bib Gourmand : Restaurant sélectionné par les inspecteurs du guide MICHELIN pour son très bon rapport qualité/prix.
