Gault&Millau's review 2026

As his name suggests, this Alchemist knows how to assemble the right ingredients to transform sometimes heterogeneous products into dishes harmonious enough to justify the chef's hat. There's never a dull moment with these incursions from elsewhere and these regional traditions: camembert with Bigorre ham, grilled entrecote bao, eggplant parmiggiana and fregola sarda risotto or even cassoulet toulousain "for the bravest". Well-interpreted desserts from the era include chocolate coeur coulant and brioche perdue flambéed with Grand Marnier.
