"Near the old racecourse, tucked away in a residential area, this restaurant with refined decor occupies a 1950s house. Chef Ismail Guerre-Genton crafts creative cuisine, the core ingredients of which are plant-based: vegetable tartlet and watercress; trout, endive and kimchi; dark chocolate, buckwheat and green cardamom – his surprise menus home in on seasonal ingredients." - Michelin Inspector
The experience in general was great.
The place was welcoming and well-separated, and the service was very generous.
The food overall was good. There were 3 dishes that were extraordinary in flavor and emotions that you are equally happy you had but frustrated you will not have more, and 2 others that weren't our taste. The wines that were recommended were an excellent addition to the experience.
The only "problem" I find in this evening is the time this voyage takes (speaking mostly for couples with babies):
For a 7-course night, we spent just over 3h and we escaped the coffee. I supposed that if we were to stay it was going to be 4h easily. Just a heads up.
Great place that I will visit again.

Location was a little out of town but well worth it.

A mixed experience. A few good dishes among many others that felt like experiments. The chef is undeniably skilled, but should perhaps focus more on the produce and simpler preparations. The sommelier was not up to the task and made some very questionable suggestions, out of a seriously overpriced wine list (more than 100 euros for a muscadet!). The room could do with a modern renovation.

One of my best restaurant experiences ever. The staff was very attentive and polite, I truly felt welcome. The food was pure art: it was creative, delicious, well thought out and beautiful. Full of surprising flavours, textures and techniques, using a lot of regional and seasonal ingredients. Really amazing place, everything was excellent!
