Gault&Millau's review 2026

In a street close to the seafront and the pedestrian zone, this bistronomic restaurant immediately asserts its philosophy of simplicity and regularity. For several years now, chef Jérôme Rigaud has been offering a cuisine rooted in the product, with a reassuring consistency. Accustomed as he is to presidential tables (the current tenant of the Kremlin must still remember this), as much as to those of the names that have shaped French cuisine - Troisgros in Roanne, Robuchon in Paris - it's in all humility that the chef proposes a menu that brings people together, based on recipes that are easy to understand and without artifice, precise and without technical demonstration. A tomato tarte Tatin, a salad of small local squid with burnt olive powder, roasted turbot on the skin with green and white asparagus and a Michel Guérard-style virgin sauce, a coquelet en crapaudine, a pain perdu like a soufflé, a chocolate cabosse with hazelnut crumble... All in all, a solid address, with no stylistic effects, but supported by sincere cuisine, committed service and a lively atmosphere.
