I don’t really know how to categorize this place — it’s modern and slick, but still comfortable and inviting, the staff are enthusiastic and friendly, and Antoine Heerah, the big, imposing chef, is very gracious and welcoming. Not to forget the food, which is amazing.
All the dishes we had here as part of the 62-euro “carte blanche” menu were beautifully made and, in the rare case where something wasn’t really to my taste (just out of personal preference), still of very high quality and ingenuity. Everything played with flavors, especially the dessert. This consisted of three small portions of banana ice cream, some sort of allspice cake and a jelly, of which you ate a little bit of each on the same spoon. Our waiter described it as “une explosion des saveurs”, which was pretty accurate.
They even sell the cool glass octopus table decorations if you ask them. One of my absolute favorites so far, check it out.
