Gault&Millau's review

16.5/20
Remarkable Restaurant Discovering L'Espadon in its new setting, at the very end of a labyrinth of corridors that innervate the bowels of the legendary palace, is bound to be a special moment, especially if, as on our last visit, this discovery coincides with fashion week and its unusual effervescence. The restaurant, almost modest in size, is immediately captivating with its sober yet luxurious decor, the centerpiece of which, in addition to the magnificent crystal-leaf ceiling lamp, is undoubtedly the spectacle of the "open" kitchens behind the large picture windows (this is the Ritz, so the smell of cooking mustn't permeate the haute couture dresses...). To host this Espadon 2.0, a new profile was needed, and it's Eugénie Béziat, a former literature student who has worked with Michel Guérard and Michel Sarran, among others, who has taken up the reins, bringing her very personal vision of cuisine, obviously influenced by her childhood spent in Africa and her previous experiences, notably at La Flibuste, in Antibes. Eugénie Béziat's cuisine skilfully blends luxury and more affordable products (such as the magnificent quail with corn or the striking mackerel in escabeche, aniseed and coffee), playing with the codes of luxury, contrasts and playfulness, as in her reinterpretation of absinthe tasting, a spectacular moment that inevitably triggers the video function on smartphones. This cuisine can now be enjoyed on the two "blind" menus as well as à la carte, an additional proposition that we can only welcome. Perfect service, smiling and relaxed, magnificent cellar.
