Gault&Millau's review 2025

A modern, discreet bistro where Amar Chalal, formerly of Alléno's, showcases his technique in a well-crafted, efficient bistronomic cuisine, well-priced on the menus. The large dining room is lit by bay windows, with a mix of exposed stone walls, green-painted brick walls, green-toned ceilings and blond-wood tables surrounded by anise-green armchairs in a slightly vintage style. The more expensive à la carte menu allows for greater control, and the dishes speak for themselves, like the low-temperature rack of veal with oyster mushrooms and gnocchi after the perfect egg and mushrooms, or the two-cooked pigeon with Pontoise cabbage and caillette. School dishes such as stuffed cabbage and royal hare punctuate the menu, before seasonal desserts. Service a little lonely, classic cellar rather expensive, a first toque.
