Description

Hestia, goddess of the hearth, presides over this restaurant that absolutely oozes cachet, with its white beams, stone walls and mirrors. Normandy-born chef Loïc Dantec (previously at 114 Faubourg) devises a seasonal menu only, with dishes that hit the mark, such as Cantal pork entrecôte cooked over an open fire with sweet spices. All the meat is grilled to perfection on the barbecue, ready to be carved tableside. The chef cooks without showboating, making flavour the priority. His partner Filipe Fernandes competently and assiduously manages the restaurant floor.
