Gault&Millau's review 2026

The magic unfolds in the old apartment converted into a boutique restaurant, where the menu evolves with the seasons. Begin with silky marinated veal tongue draped in a sweet horseradish emulsion and accented with the crunch of walnuts, the sweetness of dried figs, and a bright vinaigrette of young spinach. Like the tongue, one of the best renditions of duck breast followed. The timing of the sear was precise to the second; the cross-section revealed a flawless gradient from rose to deep burgundy. The meat melts on the tongue, while the duck belly offers a sublime caramelization. A vibrant sauce of sour cherry, carrot, and pumpkin provides a sophisticated counterpoint of sweetness, balanced by the earthy velvet of celery purée in the play of textures and shades of transition from dull to refreshing notes. The finale is a dessert fit for royalty: a silky chocolate mousse of profound depth, set atop a slice of homemade kuglof. As the cake gradually absorbs the rich chocolate sauce and mousse, it creates a symphony of textures that is both nostalgic and surprising.
