Gault&Millau's review 2026

At the Maison des Ambassadeurs hotel, Arco offers a fluid, coherent experience, where every detail seems designed to accompany the guest without ever overdoing it. The cuisine takes a creative approach, rooted in the product. The open raviole around celeriac, spiced up with tarragon, illustrates this desire for precision and freshness. The scallops, perfectly seared, are accompanied by vegetal and fruity notes that bring relief and subtlety. As for the Iberian pork, it plays a more gourmet part, supported by a masterful wine merchant sauce. Desserts continue this dynamic, with delicate compositions that combine fruit and delicacy, such as apple with lychee and verbena, or finely-crafted chocolate. The wine list stands out for its openness. Alongside the great French regions, a well-constructed international selection takes you on a journey through Germany, South Africa, Argentina and New Zealand. In the dining room, service is both fluid and attentive.
