Polette is a restaurant on avenue Clemenceau in Thionville. Since autumn, its terrace has been calling out. On the chairs, pure sheep’s wool blankets; on the knees of the guests, a blanket from the same barrel. Customers are also protected from the rain by a concrete arch, but are in the fresh air, warm, can smoke their cigarettes and even greet acquaintances who pass by…
Relaxed, friendly, green atmosphere. But the new boss, Sébastien Schild, does not provide the turtleneck advocated by the minister… “I really don’t regret this investment. Customers were all the more enthusiastic about this terrace as November and December did not show negative temperatures. Since the beginning of February, it is the plate that would quickly be cold. »
A small team that fills up
Inside, it’s a bistro atmosphere, with good food and retro vintage decor, antique furniture, bottles just waiting to see their corks pop. “We are a small team that accommodates a maximum of 26 covers, but we fill up,” says the chef.
Sébastien Schil was born and raised in Thionville before passing through the hotel schools of Metz and Lausanne, then standing in front of pianos at Ducasse and, for twenty years, at Léa Linster in Frisange. His return home? ” An opportunity ! The Italian restaurant Chez Christine was for sale… In a few days, in March, I realized my dream: to settle in Thionville. A winning bet for Sébastien, who offers “seasonal cuisine at moderate prices. I prefer natural wines and local products”.
