18.5/20

Prestige Restaurant It's so perfect! So well mastered that this legendary house has become a model. Like a German sedan, a Swiss watch, a Japanese knife. The 250 checkpoints verified before each service take the customer to this French nirvana, three hours of acrobatic trapeze without the slightest error for a breathtaking performance. All the plates, ultra-creative and accomplished, are worth their four and sometimes five toques, and if the unavoidable berlingots remain at home (while varying according to the harvest), all the other dishes are renewed from one season to the next. And if we can't tell you everything in less than 300 pages, this year we'll mention two exclamations, the red mullet, abalone, snail, beurre blanc-rouge and a dessert to weep with happiness over the Grenoble walnut, vin jaune, curry madras, caramel evoked by a poetic "le cerneau se drape du sari" on the mystery menu delivered at the start of the meal. Because, of course, the scenography orchestrated by Anne-Sophie Pic and her teams is a vital element in the smooth running of the agapes, the secrecy too and the joy of discovery for a certain clientele. We'd like to add our congratulations for the liquid accompaniment (since you don't know what you're eating, it's hard to find your way around the plethora of drinks in the cellar), including a bluffing pairing of non-alcoholic drinks, teas, coffees (on pigeon), kombuchas and mocktails, all in perfect harmony to prolong the experience.
