Gault&Millau's review
17/20
Prestige Restaurant When so many modest, even banal houses want to sell you "immersive experiences", it's fair to say that here, you're served. Wealthy Aixois love to come and spend an evening at La Gaude, and we can understand why. The atmosphere of the chai, and those of the four different dining outlets, ensure a change of scenery. At the gastro, open kitchen, show in the dining room and on the plate. MDB's cuisine is not simplified, but refined and pared down: there's still just as much work to be done on red mullet, saffron fennel and a version of rouille on a bone juice reminiscent of bouillabaisse, or on the very fine carabineros, flambéed at the table with yuzu gin, head juices and carmine veil, but these multiple ingredients are combined even more precisely than before to serve the central product, the captain of the plate. Even purer is the excellent wagyu from Vincent Girardin's farm (the winemaker, of course!), with its tomato-reduced juice, before a dessert of Solliès fig, also very concentrated on the fruit, coulis, ice cream, cooked fruit (and the tuile roll containing a siphon of light pastry and fig, it's just the best Figolu in the world!). Service beyond excellent from Elise, a cellar that's quite extraordinary in its choice and prices. Verticals from all over, great Bordeaux as well as Languedoc and Saumur, and eye-catching prices: you'd be hard pressed to find a better price for some of the great festive vintages. As a bonus, a remarkable young sommelier, Nicolas Parmentier, without blinkers or sectarian choices, sincerely in love with wine everywhere, as long as it's good.
