Gault&Millau's review 2026

It's a company with the wind in its sails and its sights firmly set on the open sea. Sophie and Quentin's ambitions are well-founded, and they made a great success of their start-up last year and continue to amaze us. A pretty, contemporary, zen setting, a view of the kitchens, the chef's dishes, strong on sauces, cultivated and inspired, well in tune with the season, local products, but with varied, rather Mediterranean influences, make for a very good time (sometimes a little long on busy evenings). After the pleasant appetizers (the poached oyster is a little weighed down by the bonito vinegar), the asparagus from Mallemort is imaginative with its three sauces and the sardine well presented, the octopus is in raviole, carrot and poultry juice, with punch and a little sweetness, a good octopus stew tielle sétoise style, the monkfish is just as well worked, a mole with cocoa, samphire and salsify, the sauce slightly outweighing the product, which is nevertheless perfectly cooked, and we conclude with the Japanese pearls, almond texture emulsion with olive oil and amaretto, a dessert with little sweetness and marked acidity. Sophie's warm welcome, young, diligent service. Quite an interesting cellar, no stars, but straightforward, clean wines, some organic, from reassuring references (Luneau Papin, Vincent Gaudry, Faiveley, Malherbe, Saint-André de Figuière, René Bouvier...).
