Gault&Millau's review 2026

Camille and Frédéric Lorimier have fashioned their table as a true journey, an experience to be savored from the first bite to the last sweet sliver. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is clear: precision, elegance, but also warmth. Round bread, served hot and crusty, and butter rolled into a perfect spiral, always offered in abundance, become the red threads of the meal, generous and reassuring companions. Each plate arrives like a chapter, accompanied by a surplus of sauce served separately, which the guest can measure out as he or she wishes. This choice reflects a real sense of trust and a willingness to share more than just a dish. The heart of beef tomato sculpted into an icy rose is a striking example: the ice cream melts under the silky coating of a tangy whipped cream that you pour yourself, between freshness and salty sweetness. Next comes the powerful, iodized lisette, whose strength blends with the dense sugar of figs and the spiciness of mustard seeds, before calming down in a vegetal fig-leaf ice cream. Red mullet flambé expresses its intensity, softened by a tangy sage sabayon, while squab, pink and crisp, finds the perfect balance with creamy corn and smoky burnt kernels. The cellar, rich and sharp, extends the experience with coherence. A story of fire, season and generosity, starting at €145.
