At our place

Acolytes

A name full of meaning

Why Acolytes?

Because behind every great dish, there are gestures, faces, and connections. Because in the kitchen as in the dining room, nothing happens alone. “Acolytes” is a tribute to those who accompany, enhance, and share: a team, a home, a place of humanity.
At Acolytes, the door is always open, as our logo shows. It is a place of passage, warmth, and encounters, with sincere, committed, and vibrant cuisine.

Meeting the chef

A decor that speaks truth

A unique place

The restaurant’s interior decoration celebrates the raw beauty of natural materials, while breathing a delightfully refined retro air.
Lime, sand, and stone clothe the walls with sobriety, while solid oak settles on the floor and tables.
Organic shades inspired by the earth express themselves in carefully chosen artisanal tableware. Touches of sage and olive bring freshness and serenity.
We prioritize eco-responsible materials, recycled whenever possible, to dress the space with softness and awareness.
