Gault&Millau's review 2025

Even though Bruno Verjus’s restaurant near the Gare de Lyon is now the subject of worldwide acclaim, the diners seated there remain customers to be satisfied—despite having the purchasing power to afford the single-course menu priced at 480 €. And in a way, the former journalist—a keen observer of gastronomic trends—while not claiming to compete with the stars of the kitchen, has an undeniably insightful vision for the future of dining, thereby highlighting exceptional ingredients that speak more to the world than our sauces and Lenten recipes. Seated on a (comfortable) stool, facing the team led by the boss, the gourmet diner will naturally enjoy a well-hidden menu, “inspired by what our producers were kind enough to deliver to us this morning,” as the server so eloquently puts it (who, incidentally, is smiling and, of course, perfectly fluent in English). The dishes will then follow one after another—numerous (a dozen courses in total), (very) generous, and ultimately quite simple in their conception, with no skimping on the portion of lobster (caisson-caught, a magnificent product), simply warmed in a broth made from the claws and served with a juicy tomato and a remoulade of capers and nettles, followed by a lovely, simply grilled red mullet fillet with “fisherman’s” potatoes, before moving on to a thick slice of veal sweetbread paired with a lobster sauce and sheep’s feet. After the lovely chocolate tartlet with capers and Oscietra caviar, the feast concludes with a slice of fig clafoutis, still warm, and a wonderful madeleine with olive jam, which we dip into a divine olive oil.
