Gault&Millau's review

17/20
Prestige Restaurant The fourth chef's hat has done wonders for Frédéric Doucet and, beyond him, for the whole house. More confident, more elegant, more balanced, the Charolais institution has grown a little more each year. It's true that the family touch that has contributed to the success of the restaurant has been retained, and so much the better, for a clientele that is as much local as it is a traveler, who feels at home far from the glitz and glamour of a palace. Mastery, more and more, in this cuisine with its Burgundian roots, in particular the meat from Charolais cows. And balance in well-thought-out dishes, which the chef now knows how to fine-tune without bringing out the cavalry, for straightforward yet subtle flavors: on the green asparagus à l'étouffée, both tender and crunchy, with sorrel sabayon and Morvan cazette, the cushion of pike, so successful that we'd like it to be a size larger, with a pretty bisque and velvet of chardonnay, crayfish with a tansy sauce softened with chartreuse, Crisenon trout with verbena, "cruite", i.e. both raw and cooked, and the impeccable sweetbread, golden to perfection, with Charolais pastis, notes of fennel and licorice, concentrated juice with candied fennel. An excellent chocolate dessert, with Burgundy blackcurrant condiment, smoked chocolate ice cream and delicious strawberries, concludes this beautiful sequence in Charolais country. A very Burgundian wine list, and therefore normally rather expensive, with good choices of estates and owners.
