Gault&Millau's review
Gault&Millau Academy's member For a person from Mars arriving on rue Balzac, this plush house, this very chic, whisper-quiet lounge, this perfect, discreet, efficient service, magnificently brought to life by Hervé Parmentier, the restaurant's director (crowned last year), would no doubt pass for very Parisian. This is not an insult, of course, but it is inaccurate. It could even be said that Pierre Gagnaire, the Pierrot born in a Forez village, represents all the terroirs of France in the heart of Paris's 8th arrondissement. This is how he grew up, how he built himself, discovered in Saint-Étienne by Gault&Millau, and became this magician of flavors and riches from all the territories of the Republic. His cuisine is like that: colourful, exciting, voluble and, above all, passionate. The names of his themes, which he turns into poems and satellites, speak for themselves: "Jardin marin", "Parfums d'automne", "Homard et huiles d'olive d'origine", "Veau du Limousin". Each theme triggers ideas, sensations and convictions. One example is all it takes to understand the approach. With langoustines, for example, seven creations: a large one seared in a hazelnut licorice butter, chard ribs, seawater beer mousse; typed with Tasmanian pepper, nettle velouté, agria crystals; in scampi, pink mushrooms, Amer condiment; steamed poached bite, clarified consommé, chickpeas; cream taken in farmhouse cider syrup, puffed buckwheat seeds; carved raw with yuzu-spiked fromage blanc, pink berry opaline... Of course, this colossal work of art, a series of paintings in the same cathedral, can only be tasted like an aesthete and sparingly, and the choice is a Cornelian one, but the result is delightful, right down to the desserts, with the soufflé and vanilla or the very rich "Autumnal Spirit". The menus are very well designed to help you get to know the universe in small planets, and the cellar is rich and impressive, with a highly committed sommelier who knows how to make the most of it.
