What if the fire wasn't hidden at the back, but sat dead centre of the room?
Most brasserie kitchens hide behind a wall. The fire's a service function: smoke, noise, mess kept out of sight, out of the guests' way. At Brasserie Vinatier, that wall doesn't exist; the open fire and its gantry sit dead centre, visible from the marble bar all the way through to the dining tables.
Here, the kitchen becomes the main event and everything else - the timber, the brass, the wine displays lit like a chateau cellar - circles it.
