Chef's Restaurant

Located on the corner of Rue du Pôle Nord, Le Boréal has chosen its name wisely. The Nordic references end there, however, as the culinary offerings from Philippine Jaillet in the pastry kitchen and Charles Neyers are thoroughly eclectic, drawing on seasonal market produce with a strong emphasis on plant-based ingredients. The menus, long hidden from view, are now clearly displayed, and a la carte options are 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, kimchi, wagyu XO, and raw cream; the Chalosse duck, richly flavored with Corsican myrtle, served with foie gras sausage, BBQ-style, and smoked mackerel jus; and the intricate and 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, drawn from an already well-stocked cellar.
