Gault&Millau's review 2025

Even if the trumpets of renown now surround Bruno Verjus's home near the Gare de Lyon, those who are seated are still customers to be satisfied, despite the high purchasing power required to afford the unique €400 menu. And in a way, the former journalist and keen observer of gastronomic customs, while not claiming to compete with the stars of the kitchen, has an indisputably pertinent idea of tomorrow's catering, promoting the exceptional product that speaks more to the world than our sauces and Lenten recipes. Settled on a (comfortable) stool, facing the armada led by the boss, the gourmet stroller will of course enjoy a well-hidden catalog, "inspired by what our producers have kindly delivered to us this morning", as the service staff (smiling and obviously perfectly English-speaking) so aptly recites. The dishes then follow one another, numerous (a dozen courses in all), (very) copious and quite simple in their conception, not skimping on the portion of lobster (from the locker, a magnificent product), simply warmed in a claw broth and served with a juicy tomato and a caper and nettle remoulade, offering a lovely back of red mullet simply grilled with its "fisherman's" potatoes before continuing with a thick sweetbread married with a lobster sauce and sheep's trotters. After a pretty chocolate tartlet with capers and osciètre caviar, the feast concludes with a portion of warm fig clafoutis and a wonderful madeleine with olive jam dipped in divine olive oil.
