Gault&Millau's review 2026

You have to make the effort to get out of town for their new address in Le Pont-de-Claix, but once there, the reward is there. Elie Michel-Villaz and Hugo Bijaoui form a perfect tandem: no fuss in the plates, but dishes that are just right, like the cod with endive cream, roasted carrots and basil fumet, or the crispy pig with comté cheese and celery mousseline with lardon and mushroom jus. The balance is struck between the bitterness of the endive, the interplay of textures and the impeccably cooked fish. Take advantage of Hugo's judicious advice to accompany this refined market cuisine. Don't hesitate to ask for the extensive wine list, with over 300 references from all over the world. The selection favors biodynamic viticulture, and even includes a cuvée created jointly by Hugo and a local winemaker. One of the best value-for-money restaurants in the region, with a relaxed atmosphere and discreet but efficient service.
