Malling, France
Alexis Baudin
In the small Moselle commune of Petite-Hettange near Malling, Alexis Baudin operates a carte blanche format built around hyper-local Lorraine produce: vegetables from small market gardeners, Meuse mushrooms, Guémar saffron, and Wagyu beef raised in the region. The setting, high ceilings, a restrained beige palette, a garden terrace shaded by a century-old cedar, matches the kitchen's balance of ambition and restraint.
