Description

Not far from rue de Cîteaux, this restaurant in an apothecary-style shop dating back to the 1900s is not merely aesthetically pleasing. It serves modern cuisine packed with quality ingredients: seared scallops with parsnip cream and parsnip crisps, stuffed breast of veal from the Basque Country… The chef knows how to draw out flavours with a generous touch, and the service is attentive.
