A chef at work in a dimly lit restaurant kitchen

Welcome to Solenne

Cooked Over Fire,Served at Leisure

A dining room built around a wood-fired hearth: seasonal produce, a long wine list and an evening that is never rushed.

Fresh Ingredients

Vegetables from four farms within a day’s drive, fish landed that morning, and nothing on the menu out of season.

Chef’s Specialties

Dishes that only make sense over live coals: charred, smoked or slow-roasted in the embers of the hearth.

Private Dining

A twelve-seat room behind the kitchen for birthdays, rehearsal dinners and long lunches that turn into evenings.

Our story

A Whole Season of Flavors in One Place

Solenne began as a single hearth and a handful of tables. Ten years on, the fire is still the heart of the room: every plate passes through it, whether it is a whole turbot or a tray of winter squash.

The menu changes with what the farms send us each week, and the wine list leans towards small growers who farm the way we cook, patiently and without shortcuts.

The only thing we take more seriously than the food is the way you feel when you leave.
