12.5/20

Gourmet Restaurant It's all a question of atmosphere. If you feel good in a place like Séjour Café, it's because Marina Geille makes you feel at home, in her tastefully decorated interior, as a friend who receives impeccable attention throughout the meal. Located in the Rue Grimaldi, in the heart of the carré d'or, where there's no shortage of restaurants, the neo-bourgeois cuisine prepared by chef Nicolas Mendjisky stands out for the authenticity of its recipes and the precision of its execution. The soup of favouilles, small Mediterranean green crabs prepared with an aromatic broth, sweetened with coconut milk and an airy rouille, or the surprising land-sea dish of pearly cod on a bed of lentils with bacon, underline the point. Everything here is fresh from the market, including the mandarins used to make the sorbet that accompanies what is probably the best chocolate mi-cuit around. In the cellar, the good sixty or so references allow you to drink wines for pleasure as well as those with more confidential labels. The bill for a three-course lunchtime sequence comes to around €70 with a glass of wine and coffee.
