Gault&Millau's review

13/20

Chef's Restaurant Situated in a pedestrian enclave, almost in the shadow of the cathedral, the noble stone building is several centuries old. The kitchen, on the other hand, is fully open to the world and happily embraces the spirit of the times. After having moved around quite a bit, Thibault Monnerie and Camille Favain now want to put down permanent roots. After total renovation, the small, warm and intimate upstairs dining room offers a very pleasant setting where wood and stone play a central role. Although sourced locally, Thibault's inspiration has no castrating horizons. Take, for example, the Mediterranean wink with the "Lebanese tarator" (sesame paste), very unctuous and sapid, topped with an almond emulsion, tomato-cumin ice cream, roasted almonds and a zaatar tuile. Extremely delicate and pleasant. To the tune of flamenco, a brill with "ajo blanco" is delicately marked with garlic and almond. Orange supremes add a welcome acidity. Next, the pork of good lineage, soft to the touch, is paired with celery (in various forms). A peppery ginger caramel is poured over it, which is a real crowd-pleaser. Finally, good strawberries, rosewater and orange blossom cream, lime ice cream, elderflower alcohol emulsion ("saint-germain") and a fine meringue make for a delightfully light and fresh finish. The energetic Camille is at ease at the table, and the wine list she has put together is attractive: Alsace from domaine Goepp; sancerre "Les Chailloux" from domaine Fouassier; chablis from Thomas Pico; nuits-saint-georges from domaine Cruchandeau; collioure from domaine de la Rectorie...
