Gault&Millau's review

14.5/20

Chef's Restaurant It's 6ᵉ chic and bohemian, different from its Parisian counterpart, logically Lyonnais, a little more gourmand. La Mutinerie is in that vein. We're not on the Potemkine, but in a delicious restaurant to enjoy magnificent little dishes, half-dinette, half-gastro. Yes, Nicolas Siebold's cooking is precise and undeniably aromatic. After a long initial sequence of pike egg and mushroom tarts, asparagus from the Drôme is cleverly flavored with Douglas fir and wild sorrel. The rest of the adventure hums with pleasure: a pretty poultry and snail cookie - a little sandy - with wild garlic, a well-treated Arctic char with bone jus, lemon caviar and spinach, and to top it all off, a small Bresse pigeon, potatoes and hazelnuts, with a tablespoon of sauce, and no more... To reach ecstasy, why not definitively abandon this surprise menu that no longer surprises? Since 2018, this highly talented chef, trained by the greats from Anne-Sophie Pic to Yannick Alleno to Christian Têtedoie, has been looking for the wow effect in eight mystery courses and tiny plates, when three or four generous, hearty dishes would undoubtedly make us fall off our chairs. This chef knows the right producers, knows how to make clever and ingenious combinations... A meal is like a concert: you want the full-length hits, not just remixed extracts. With 2 toques already, and no doubt 3 tomorrow, isn't it time to reshuffle the deck, and offer us not a mutiny, but a revolution, with the return of a menu! Dare we? Nicolas Seibold has announced the closure of his restaurant at the end of June 2024. The chef is considering new projects in the south of France, his native land.
