The story
Just ten minutes from Perpignan, in the quiet town of Saleilles, L'AbSix is the project of Cécile and Stéphane Tellier. They describe their restaurant as a warm, convivial place where cooking is driven by passion and skill. The dining room is select and refined, built with noble materials – an understated backdrop for the food.
The cuisine is modern, anchored in pleasure and the rhythm of the seasons. This approach has earned L'AbSix a place in the Michelin guide, recognised for its consistent quality and thoughtful execution.
L'AbSix offers a single option for dinner: the Menu Mystère, a five-course tasting menu that changes regularly. The structure is two entrées, two main courses, and one dessert – all a surprise until they arrive. At 52 euros, it is a generous and accessible way to experience the Telliers' modern cuisine without the pressure of choosing.
The menu reflects the couple's belief in a cuisine of pleasure, built around whatever is best at the market. No two visits are likely to be the same.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, closed Sunday and Monday. The atmosphere is both welcoming and precise – a space for gourmands and epicureans alike. An outdoor seating area and private room are available, and parking is easy.
L'AbSix is a place where the personal touch of a chef-owner couple meets the discipline of modern gastronomy. It is a worthy stop for anyone seeking a sincere, well-crafted meal in the Perpignan area.
