Gault&Millau's review 2025

Sticking to the essentials is always difficult, and often requires the know-how of experience. While we appreciate young chef Morgan Ortega's creative approach, we'd also like to see this influx of flavors and aromas channeled a little by reducing the number of ingredients on each plate, which would allow us to better appreciate the freshness and quality of the products: crispy langoustines (in cigar form) and grilled gambas with chard and ewe ravioli, apple, radish, walnuts and a very present bisque, veal fillet in morel sauce with melting caramelized flesh, an honest pistachio-lemon dessert. General wine cellar, friendly and efficient service in this cosy, quiet setting.
