Gault&Millau's review 2026

Some people are a bit skeptical about the media attention and the fads surrounding this young Belgian chef, but one can only applaud the sincerity of his approach and, above all, his talent—as sharp and precise as ever—for showcasing his local ingredients with boldness, respect, and creativity. In a word, Mallory Gabsi is a chef deeply committed to the perfection of a sauce and the art of showcasing a product. His dishes are creations with roots, meaning, and purpose, and the three Michelin stars are no accident in this unassuming dining room seating about twenty guests, just a three-minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Once again, he has charmed us with a certain modesty in dishes of apparent simplicity: a superb starter of sucrine lettuce and watercress with a sauce of cockles, almonds, and razor clams, which we also find in an espuma alongside a small garden of herbs and flowers; a lovely version of Flemish-style asparagus with haddock to add a smoky note; a perfectly cooked, pearly turbot with a cream sauce of mussels and zucchini, and, as always, the unmissable eel in green sauce, prepared his way, to round out an impeccable and indulgent meal. Manon, the pastry chef, adds a welcome touch of sweetness with a fresh and successful dessert of Mara des Bois sheep’s milk cheese and jalapeño. A wine cellar with a distinct focus—not massive, but just right, with a solid knowledge of the vineyards and a few hidden gems.
