    A sincere thank you to Alexis Gauthier for his dedication to fostering a more compassionate world. Additionally, appreciation to Head Chef Alexia Dellaca-Minot for crafting a Tasting Menu that sets a new standard of excellence. The Black Kelp Caviar Tartlettes and Cashew Pate with crisp, melt in the mouth Brioche were extraordinaire. The Kale Tortellini & Sushi were exceptionally good followed by an exquisite Jerusalem Artichoke. Rounded off with Winter Blood Orange, Lovage & Caramel was the perfect treat!

    We were welcomed warmly and sat at a very comfortable corner table. The food was interesting and delicious, the wine list very limited and pricey. Our only complaint was the rushed service. Just 5 minutes extra between courses would have made the whole experience much better. As it was it was a bit like a conveyor belt of dishes. The sommelier was charming and chatty. Overall it was a great lunch. Recommended.
