We had a good evening overall. 4/7 of the dishes were tasty, interesting mixes, good wine. A bit expensive at the end of the day: good food, but not worth the money (€150 for two = €75 per head without alcohol). We did not come out thinking “waow that was something” nor would we recommend it.

On voit qu'il y a beaucoup de travail dans la préparation et l'élaboration des plats. Mais il y a tellement de mélanges que le palais ne s'y retrouve pas et que les plats n'ont pas de saveurs qui se dégage. Mention spéciale à l'originalité de l'accord mets et vin. Pour moi, le prix 142 € à 2 est trop élevé.

The chef is talented and creative. What he creates with vegetables is simply remarkable and it is a truly original culinary experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is trendy and the service is friendly and efficient. My photos do not do justice to the actual beauty of the dishes !
