Hidden Garden
A Story of Travel and Sharing
Behind the menu at Hidden Garden lies 45 years of passion, creation, and encounters.
Throughout his career, Yves Mattagne has explored the world, collaborating with cultures, artisans, and cuisines with strong identities. From these experiences emerged a vision: that of a living, sincere cuisine, capable of bringing people together without ever confining itself to a single framework.
Hidden Garden is the reflection of that journey.
Here, every dish tells a story — an inspiration gathered on a voyage, a memory revisited, a technique learned over the years, or simply the pleasure of elevating a product to its purest expression.

Sanctus
Sanctus is a table apart.
A gastronomic sanctuary where time seems to stand still, giving way to what truly matters: to feel, to savour, and to surrender to the moment. A place where time fades in favour of the experience.
A single menu, conceived as a living work of art, evolves each month through inspiration. Here, every guest shares the same journey — an experience to be felt as much as tasted.
Sanctus is an intimate, vibrant, and deeply human setting. A place where indulgence is expressed freely, shaped by years of travel, encounters, and intertwined cultures. The kitchen steps beyond its walls, gestures are shared, and service itself becomes part of the experience. Boundaries dissolve between the dining room, the kitchen, and those inhabiting the moment.
A classical cuisine inspired by many journeys, gently reimagined for today to create dishes that are contemporary, expressive, and full of flavour.
Here, fine dining is not measured — it is felt. It lives in the glance, in the detail, and in the time devoted to each guest. In every story told, every gesture explained, and every flavour revealed.
Sanctus is an encounter with a vision, a craft, and an energy carried by Yves Mattagne and Charles Broutard, united by the desire to create far more than a meal — a lasting memory.
