The Climb
At Le Club Restaurant in Missillac, France, the lunch menu carries Filipe Silvestre’s name, and the work reads differently as the day moves on. Midday service is built on directness: generous plates, clear flavours, and the kind of cooking that relies on precision rather than display. The structure is simple on paper, but the execution has to land with enough confidence to make that simplicity hold. By evening, the kitchen shifts into a narrower register. The menu becomes more refined and more open to risk, while still keeping the ease of relaxed brasserie cooking in view. Daily-changing classics stay part of the rhythm, so the room doesn’t lose contact with the practical demands of service. Grill and plancha work add another layer — heat, char, and sharpness used as punctuation rather than performance.
Today
As Executive Chef at Le Club Restaurant, Filipe Silvestre works across two distinct tempos: lunch that stays open-handed and immediate, dinner that turns inward and asks for more detail. The same kitchen has to satisfy both, which means the discipline sits in the transitions as much as in the dishes themselves. What gives the room its shape is that balance between ease and control. At midday, the food is meant to be straightforward without becoming flat. In the evening, the same brasserie framework is tightened and refined, so familiar forms can carry a little more edge. The result is a kitchen moving with the hour rather than against it.
