Gault&Millau's review

12/20

Gourmet Restaurant Benjamin Girard's specialty may be the sea, but the chef, who has worked with Thierry Verrat and Philippe Etchebest, is just as good on land, defending a good local dish overall. In this beautiful blue-and-white room, Benjamin and Justine's restaurant is a welcome addition to the city's offerings, adding a touch of modern, well-crafted bistronomy. The €35 menu offers honest value for money, with an interesting chicken moelleux, blanquette and yellow wine sauce, bread tuile and apple-walnut brunoise, a well-cooked pollack, braised endives, orange and grapefruit sabayon, and finally cabbage, crème diplomate and salted butter caramel ice cream. A cellar that could do with a little more strength, but which already has its good references, such as Gramenon, Guillemot and Soulanes.
