Gault&Millau's review 2026

We've stressed enough that Arnaud Faye is undoubtedly the ideal candidate to succeed Eric Frechon, so we've already put this handover in perspective. A year after the chef's induction, the Bristol is more than ever on solid foundations. As always, we take our seats in this noble, hushed room opening onto the garden, and cheerfully decipher a tempting menu of luxury without fuss, of flattering compositions whose difficulty, but also technical perfection, eludes the layman, in complete serenity. Because that's what it's all about, this chef, meticulous to the tip of his spatula, a goldsmith in his art, who allows everyone to dispel any doubts and surrender completely to a perfect sequence: morel lobster bisque au vin jaune, buckwheat crab and salicornia mayonnaise coraillée, saint-pierre caviar celtuce cucumber à la livèche cockle cream, pigeon de Pornic corn and mushroom jus réduit à la cardamome noire. The chef does exactly what's needed to meet expectations in a service where flawlessness is a prerequisite, as in the service brilliantly led by seasoned executives, under the high guidance of Frédéric Kaiser. Brilliant desserts by Maxence Barbot, based on the same model, featuring seasonal essentials (chocolate, rhubarb, fig, vanilla...). The cellar is obviously enormous, with verticals of all the grands crus, a sum total of the world's finest vines.
