Gault&Millau's review 2026

Alexis Cachat continues his successful career at Fleur de Sel, nestled in the medieval village of Cagnes-sur-Mer. For the past two years, the chef and his partner have been working in a tandem that is redoubtable for its precision, firstly in a cuisine that makes no compromises on the seasonality of products, and secondly in the precision of cooking and the intelligence of the combinations that can be discovered in three blind menus, in three, four and six courses at €49, €65 and €95, like so many surprises that arrive at the table. Celery and Granny-Smith apple covered with an espuma of celery and lemon balm, medallion cod in a beurre blanc with Noilly Prat and Jerusalem artichoke confit, French quail, roast chest stuffed with foie gras, roasted thighs and cromesquis on a reduced jus, embalmed with cognac, cheeses from Mons.. And then comes the time for desserts, and here we enter the domain of Chloé Feuillet, who, when she's not volunteering as a fireman and doing twelve hours of athletics a week, in addition to her role as maître d'hôtel, bakes like the greats, pear in all its states, vanilla dome and praline heart... The cellar is ample and the food and wine pairings are constantly being adapted.
