Prestige Restaurant It's a big gamble for the management of Le K2, headed by Jean-Alain Baccon, and particularly for Sébastien Vauxion, our Pâtissier of the Year in the latest France guide: now he's on prime time, and not just for snacks, with his dessert menu, which has become the restaurant's premier offering, in a genuine gastronomy based around fruit and vegetables, balancing the sweet and savory natural after a huge amount of research and development work. Undeniably, these meals are like no other, these dishes have a unique signature: along the way, nettle and pear in counterpoint textures and temperatures, the brilliant tuberous chervil with Bozel saffron and sea buckthorn juice, and the no less bluffing white button mushroom, in coconut ice cream under a mocha ice cube grating, white truffle and Jerusalem artichoke, and the unmissable celery, a great dish that evokes the work of Arnaud Donckele, totally in the product and totally invented. You might find the "real" desserts almost banal, but if you're less astonished, it's also because the first 6 dishes, which could be given the title, are so stunning. The service is palatial, error-free and animated, and the sommelier's support is excellent, with remarkable teas and a large wine list, rich in luxury flasks, but also adapted to the point that some dishes are built around pairings, like the famous celery and its red wine sauce, which go remarkably well with a Gevrey from Duband.
