In the heart of Uruguay’s most exclusive seaside resort, between pine forests and sandy beaches, Grand Chef Jean-Paul Bondoux has recreated a piece of his native Burgundy. In a quiet residential area of Punta del Este, surrounded by a magnificent garden, Bondoux produces authentic French cuisine using products from his own farm. “My cuisine is close to the land. I love thyme, bay leaves, sage, rosemary, garlic, onions and tomatoes – everything that comes from the earth.” His courgette flowers stuffed with chicken and virgin olive oil, and his rack of roast lamb in garden herbs are deliciously fresh. In the boutique next to the restaurant, tribute is paid to the terroir of France, with brioches, croissants and cheeses that you won’t find anywhere else in Uruguay.
