This was my fourth visit since the restaurant opened, but it had been over a year since the last time. Please allow me to vent a little about our dining experience this time — compared to before, especially when it first opened, the ingredient selection, portion sizes, and overall quality of each dish have clearly declined.
We ordered the five-course tasting menu. We're all small-appetite girls, but honestly, don’t go for the five courses — you’ll leave hungry. And I didn’t want to rely on the madeleine at the end just to fill up.
The amuse-bouche was nice.
The first course — toro méditerranéenne and salmon roe served on sweet bread. The ikejime tuna truly has no fishy smell, but if I were the chef, I would focus on the portion size, ingredient pairing, and the sauce, rather than serving it with a piece of sweet bread. It was barely bigger than a bite-sized appetizer.
The second course — green beans and two shelled mussels — came with a saffron-heavy sauce that was extremely salty (you’d need to order wine just to balance it out).
The third course featured calamarized red onions from Menton (I admit I only knew the area for its lemons), paired with comté cheese and mushroom purée. At that moment, I was really craving a piece of fish or meat,not another nightmarish onion. It seems the chef has a particular fondness for onions. This dish has been on the menu since the restaurant opened, with only its appearance changing over time.
Then came a Prosecco sorbet — refreshing, yes.
And finally, the dessert: apricots from Provence. Not sweet, but also not a wow.
As a Michelin one-star restaurant, they now have a sommelier and more staff for table service, which does make things quicker and more attentive. But I actually preferred it back when there were just two servers , it felt more relaxed and informal, and there weren’t people constantly hovering around while you ate. The door next to our table, marked private, was very busy.
The meal ( including 1 glass of champagne and 1 glass of wine) came to about €200 per person. To be honest, given the atmosphere and the food, it simply wasn’t worth it.
My friends said they wouldn’t come back again,especially because they really didn’t want to keep eating onions lol
