A new adventure, in place of the Fourchette du Printemps, for the winning duo Léa Lestage and William Atlan (A.Léa). Winning once again, because while the proliferation of neo-bistros may suggest uniformity, this example holds its own with a cuisine that is meticulous in detail and sufficiently inspired to seduce. It's crunchy to the bite, and melts in the mouth, like the beautiful pea tartlet or the sea bass fillet on a langoustine bisque that cohabits harmoniously with a pine nut virgin. Special mention goes to the rhubarb confit with elderberry syrup, tonka bean crumble and fontainebleau, well-balanced, neither too sweet nor too tart. The cellar shows a clear interest in committed winemakers and fine vintages, while the service is just a little slack to keep on a Parisian note.
