In the Batignolles district, a former Top-chef has opened his restaurant on the corner of the boulevard. The bottle-green and mouse-gray look is very successful... and the atmosphere is quite convivial. An address that's "in the spotlight" for Instagrammers and other likers of these talents who at least have the merit of setting up their own business: Thibaut Spiwack is the chef, active and present, well involved with his customers. He'll soon be offering you his short wine list. You'll find all the leading appellations, at Parisian prices (wine by the glass is modestly priced). The house offers two hidden menus, at €130 and €150. One dish follows another, and we'll long remember the roasted and roasted eryngii mushroom with a coffee emulsion and walnut oil. The celery leaf topped with a Madagascar vanilla cream is also an invitation to travel. However, daring combinations, such as the beetroot-passion duo, or the Camargue risotto escorted by a trio of three cheeses, failed to live up to expectations. The pretty pear and shizo desserts, and the granola with roasted hazelnuts, rounded off the sequence with a fine gourmet finish. A roller-coaster dinner alternating pleasant surprises and minor disappointments, for a cuisine that is nonetheless healthy and committed.
