Gourmet Restaurant

In the rue des restaurants, and also in the rue des Porcelets, this sign advises you to come to the table. In a room that's wise in its length, the invitation is a good idea, even if it lacks a little warmth and joie de vivre. However, the chef does a pretty good job: her veal tongue tonnato is a fine gourmet starter, and the pike-perch, a unique offering from the sea, not so far away, is a little less exciting with its miso butter, but makes you want to come back, for example for the pigeon stuffed with cabbage and truffle on this short, two-speed slate (dishes at €24, others at €40). An attractive lunch menu at €22, good service, a very limited choice of desserts and a truly attractive wine cellar, another strong point of the place, with an all-round selection, rather trendy but well varied. A few craft beers are also available.
