Gault&Millau's review 2026

The chef of the grandes maisons, who has worked with Robuchon, Constant and at the helm of Le Laurent, flourishes in this house on the Île Saint-Louis, where he expresses his cuisine d'auteur, drawing on his experience and his taste for perfection. You're immediately struck by the apparent simplicity typical of top-notch addresses, where the obvious is created on the surface of a dense body of work. Alain Pégouret unveils serious gastronomic compositions, impeccable in almost every aspect, the quality of the product, the rigor of the cooking and the precision of the sauces, amply justifying the three toques. We discover the swordfish sashimi marinated in pickles, coriander and ginger, cranberry and passion fruit nage, the duo of morels and peasant asparagus on a full-bodied royale, wild garlic and Arbois wine fleurette, the superb Luteau poultry roasted with black garlic under the skin, celtuces and bimis, strong herb flurette and matcha tea, or the dessert of rhubarb, Greek yogurt and green shiso. Great cellar and good advice.
