Description

In a pared-back interior dominated by wood and white details, Marc-Antoine Lepage (ex Les Foudres and Le Mirazur, Menton) and Adeline Lesage (who also worked at Les Foudres) pool their talents to craft modern, delicate cuisine in a carte blanche menu. A medley of subtly contrasting artichokes (the house signature) delights the tastebuds, as do the scallops, cooked two ways: in a carpaccio with a gin and leek oil dressing and roasted and coated with a white wine and leek emulsion. Surf and turf ingredients jostle for pride of place in a repertory that demonstrates a clear fondness for inventive

Review summary

Nacre in Arès offers modern cuisine with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Food quality is frequently praised for its artistic presentation, subtle yet bold flavors, and fresh ingredients, though a minority noted imbalance due to excessive lemon notes. Service is generally described as professional, warm, and discreet, with isolated complaints regarding sommelier attentiveness. The ambiance features a calm, minimalist, and zen-like decor that enhances the dining experience. Regarding value, while the menu pricing is considered accessible for a starred restaurant, wine markups are steep, and recent price increases have raised concerns among some guests about overall cost-effectiveness.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine who appreciate ambiance and can accommodate higher wine markups.
