Remarkable Restaurant
Anthony Aycaguer structures his menu around a playful principle: decipher the three main ingredients of each dish. This approach transforms tasting into an analytical exercise (you have to want to play), justified by the "product first" philosophy. The compositions reveal a measured technical mastery. The taco of egg white with candied yolk balances contrasting textures with the richness of foie gras. Cod is accompanied by carrots in varying consistencies, with the acidity of passion fruit providing structure. The beef cheek cromesquis finds its counterpart in tangy broccoli, a logical construction between intensity and freshness. The fennel-hazel-lemon dessert breaks with pastry conventions. Vegetal sorbet, gourmet mousse and lemony notes create a singular accord where aniseed converses with roundness. Isabelle Lapeyre manages the service with precision. The wine list structures its references around French diversity. The balance between accessible and prestigious bottles meets the expectations of curious amateurs and demanding connoisseurs alike. The tableware, designed by the chef and produced by a ceramist, personalizes each presentation.
