Restaurant Thierry

Metz


Combining the historic backdrop of a 16th-century townhouse with the lighting, bohemian flair and subtly spiced cuisine of Morocco, this is one of Metz’ most coveted tables. An aperitif in the candlelit salon works up an appetite for global flavours such as swordfish with risotto and red curry, and tagine of lamb with olives and dried fruit.
