You know Poivre Noir as a restaurant.
Now, there’s another way to experience it.
Our new space allows us to host on-site events , cocktail receptions, wedding, private celebrations, brand launches, networking evenings or whatever you have in mind !
Same kitchen and same standards with a different format.
Signature dishes reimagined as refined bites, our wines and cocktails.
Guests moving, talking, connecting, enjoying the outdoor/indoor space.

Still very Poivre Noir.
If you’re looking for a space with character and food that actually matters, let’s create something tailored to you.

Petite Cassagne feels like the South of France: sun-warmed vineyards, dry wind, long lunches that turn into dinners…
On the nose: ripe red berries, with a hint of spice.
On the palate: round and generous.
Perfect with grilled beef, mushroom risotto or your all time favorite cheese croquettes, it will lift those dishes with elegance and this " je ne sais quoi" very frenchy !
And yes, it’s bold enough to pair beautifully with our chocolate mousse too !
Drink it. You will remember it.

Same Poivre Noir energy, different format.
Cocktail bites that taste like our classics, paired with wine & cocktails.
From the garden to the terrace, the whole space feels like yours : because, for one night, it is.

Glenelly Unoaked Chardonnay
No oak means no fuss, just a pure Chardonnay from the cooler slopes of Stellenbosch. Citrus, green apple, and a clean mineral tension that makes every sip so fresh and so clean !
It pairs beautifully with our salmon fillet, it lifts the flavors, refreshes the palate between two bites of this dish.
A perfect wine for good food, good company, and those slow conversations : exactly the kind of moments we love at Poivre Noir.

See you tonight !

If the sun is not in the sky, it could be in your plate !
A new starter we’re proud to recommend. Come taste the harmony of this tomatoes cream topped with creamy burrata ! Each spoon gains a silky roundness that contrasts beautifully with the subtle acidity of the cream .

Some wines don’t need an introduction they just show up !
Vallée des Rois, a Gamay from Touraine is exactly that : bright red fruit, a touch of spice, and a silky finish. Perfect match for our chicken ballotine as the freshness of the Gamay cuts through the richness of our poulette sauce beautifully. And with our tomato & burrata risotto, it’s pure balance : creamy, tangy, fruity, smooth. Nothing fights , everything flows through your palate.
Light-bodied, expressive, and dangerously easy to love this gamay is a must try !

On paper, tagliata is simple : grilled, sliced beef, a touch of salt and pepper, and the taste of wood-fired heat. But in real life… you also need a sauce ( or what we call a jus in this case) with character & depth to go with it, and of course the pecorino sprinkled just right.

Here, everything comes from the thousand hills : Rwandan beef sirloin, pecorino made in Rwandan by , and a little bit of Poivre Noir Kigali !

Bourgueil, le rouge qui ne force jamais, surprend et séduit à coup sûr .
Né sur les coteaux de Loire, où il fait frais et ensoleillé en général, pas de robe lourde ni de tanins trop forts , ici on est dans la finesse.
Cabernet Franc pur , un cépage qui sait être à la fois tendre et un peu insolent , des notes de fruits rouges , petite touche poivrée, et une fraicheur qui donne envie d’un deuxième verre…
Historiquement, le Bourgueil a toujours été le rouge “facile à boire” des tables de bistrot : avec les grillades , du fromage ou des plats en sauce. Il a ce côté naturellement élégant, mais pas prétentieux !

Bref : simple mais pas simpliste ! Un des favoris. Vous l'avez testé ?

Bourgueil is the red that never tries too hard, surprises novices, and always seduces.
Born on the slopes of the Loire, where it’s usually fresh and sunny, no heavy robe or overpowering tannins here, it’s all about finesse.
100% Cabernet Franc, the grape that can be both tender and a little cheeky: red fruits, a hint of pepper, and a freshness that makes you reach for a second glass…
Historically, Bourgueil has always been the “easy-drinking” red at the table: perfect with summer grills, cheese, or hearty dishes. It has that naturally elegant vibe, never pretentious.
In short: simple, but never simplistic!
