Gault&Millau's review 2026

Located on the corner of Rue du Pôle Nord, Le Boréal has chosen its name wisely. The Nordic references end there, however, as the cuisine crafted by Philippine Jaillet in the pastry kitchen and Charles Neyers is thoroughly eclectic, drawing on seasonal market produce and placing a strong emphasis on plant-based ingredients. The menus, long hidden from view, are now on full display, and a à la carte menu is now available, proving that this establishment is modernizing and moving forward: beautiful appetizers, such as asparagus with peas and fava beans to kick things off, cuttlefish, Wagyu with kimchi, XO sauce, and raw cream; Chalosse duck, richly flavored with Corsican myrtle, served with foie gras sausage, BBQ-style, and smoked mackerel jus; and the intricate, flavorful desserts, such as the crème brûlée tart with vin jaune and Jura cheese, Savagnin sabayon, praline, and morels—all contribute to brilliant dining experiences, available in 5- or 7-course menus priced at €92 and €128, with vegetarian and omnivorous options. Wine pairings are offered for both menus, selected from an already well-stocked cellar.
