Restaurant Omija

"At the helm of his own restaurant since 2019 and with a splendid starred experience under his belt, Romain Bonnet crafts a creative surprise menu of Asian inspiration: the ‘omija’ is a Korean berry known to feature the five ‘flavours’ in perfect harmony. Romain is unswerving in his dedication to taste: radish and seaweed gnocchi brilliantly play on acidic notes as shrimp adds a well-judged spicy edge. Flawlessly cooked, gutsy stocks and irresistible big-boned sauces. The produce, mostly organic, is painstakingly sourced (common shrimp from la Cotinière, Oléron Island, line-caught pollack, Vendée squab). An infectiously cosy eatery with unstarched, yet seamless service." - Michelin Inspector

"It’s no surprise that chef Romain Bonnet previously worked under the tutelage of Pierre Gagnaire in Paris; Bonnet’s style is bold and creative, and he’s got a particular gift for teasing out ingredients with a blend of savory, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors. Hence the name Omija after a Korean berry known for combining those five flavors harmoniously. Expect dishes such as spider crab from Loctudy in amontillado with minty sunchokes and an eclair filled with mandarin cream and Yunnan tea. [$$]" - Lindsey Tramuta
