Gault&Millau's review 2026

A little removed from the hustle and bustle, and replacing the late Opéra, this new restaurant was launched by Pauline and Quentin, who had come from Paris to sign their first address. The place quickly reveals itself to be intimate, cosy and warm. The seasonal cuisine is based on a classic approach, enriched by contemporary touches: organic perfect egg, cauliflower velouté with tonka bean, crispy kale, cauliflower heads in two textures, or the very successful brioche perdue, amber beer gelato, light vanilla custard, caramelized wheat soufflé, crumble and homemade toasted brioche ice cream. A few slight inaccuracies remain in the seasonings, but the desire to do well and please is obvious. The impeccable service reinforces the desire to return and follow the development of this young establishment. The cellar, on the other hand, remains to be built.
