Gourmet Restaurant

Not quite as youthful as it once was, this wine bistro is cheerfully heading toward its 40th anniversary. Founded in 1987 by Tim Johnston, a Scotsman, and now run by his daughter, Margaux, with Romain Roudeau in the kitchen, the restaurant’s cuisine has refined and modernized over time, while maintaining a wine cellar that remains as exciting as ever (with a lovely selection by the glass that changes with the seasons). Space is limited, and the boxes of wine piling up in one corner come as no surprise to a cosmopolitan clientele spanning all generations; the dishes exude a spirit of camaraderie: haddock croquettes and caramelized endives, entrecôte (for two) with excellent mashed potatoes, vanilla rice pudding, and salted caramel that’s perfectly nostalgic.
