Gault&Millau's review 2026

Morgan Ortéga's know-how, acquired in the right schools, is the key to the success of l'Essentiel, a restaurant with an interesting range of dishes, choices and variety. The young chef runs his business with dynamism and commitment, offering ten services a week, with a full menu including grilled octopus with avocado cream and beet and grapefruit, roast veal sweetbreads with foie gras and pan-fried celery purée, roast turbot with parsley butter and spinach sauce, strawberry pavlova and a wide choice of classic desserts.
