Chef's Restaurant What great energy! In the kitchen and in the dining room! Arthur Friess and Charlotte have turned their vast establishment into a lively address of simple, harmonious elegance. Wood, white and blue provide the maritime tone that makes a statement in the city. The kitchens are open-plan, contributing to the pleasure of being there. Arthur knows how to bring out the best in market produce, especially from the fish market. He does it with a "casual touch". No demonstrative overkill, but an authentically gourmet highlight. It's precise, it's light, it's rhythmic! For example, freshly landed spider crab is immediately shelled to be combined with a bisque and a seaweed condiment to maintain the iodized intensity. The octopus, nicely "lacquered", is enhanced by spicy notes counterbalanced by tarragon. Next, the superb mature monkfish marries delicately with seaweed and salsify. As for dessert, it brilliantly plays on contrasting flavors, temperatures and textures, combining grapefruit, ganache and bitter granita. Service is fluid, and the cellar (which is not oversized) is right on target: Jurançon from Lucie and Maxime Salharang; Condrieu from Stéphane Ogier; Lirac from Domaine d'Arbousset; Savoie from Frédéric Giachino; Corsican (from Domaine Canarelli and Clos Culombu)... From €29.
