Gourmet Restaurant

The enviable location on the outskirts of the Old Market, like the setting of this rather remarkable XVIIIᵉ vaulted cellar, may give rise to fears of a tourist trap. Yet chef Hakim Benallal, with a semi-gastro menu that strives for measured originality, really cares about his clientele, with tight menus into which he puts his attention and hard work as a cook. At €39 and €48, and with due respect, there are no complaints, and on our last visit, the room was full for a good forty covers: nothing to complain about with the crab and avocado jelly tartlet, fresh and tasteful, a little less enthusiasm for the veal quasi, too firm for a plate brought in lukewarm, despite a good, full-bodied jus, and an honest black forest, chocolate and morello cherry-style dessert. The young wait staff really go out of their way, with heart and dedication, to satisfy everyone, which is a strong point despite their lack of experience. The cellar is not very extensive, but offers a satisfactory choice by the glass, from €9 to €14.
