All right, after having been able at the end of the meal, talking with the chef/patron, Pierre Disneur, he also enjoys himself, it’s so rare and that sees it, it tastes, everything here breathes the “we’ll do everything to see you again” and I assure you that there has been. We only wanted fish, and we were spoiled. First tasting, beautiful original presentation made of a Tomato d’Amour with basil, mini croquette with cheese and small crunchy topped with avocado mousse, the tone is thrown. The second, cold jelly with herbs and crustacean mousseline, while fresh and well balanced. First entrance, smoked fish carpaccio and eel accompanied by miles of flavours, bulgour, trout eggs, young shoots and various small vegetable mousses, a pleasure for the eyes and the palate. Second entrance, cobble with low-temperature cooked turbotin, vegetable chutney and spice-mounted juice, nice cooking and slightly exotic fragrances. The dish, line bar cooked with big salt, perfectly cooked, vegetable lasagna, potato gratin and light cream with herbs. Pre dessert, wonderful lemon sorbet on a bed of lemon curd and Italian meringue, it explodes in the mouth. The dessert, breathtaking, is believed to eat an apple, it is crunchy and melting at once, stuffed with a red fruit mousse and accompanied by a light vanilla ice cream of Madagascar, a treat. Very nice wine, tea and homemade mignardises. Michelin seems to have forgotten them, he has a 3-course lunch at 32€ which deserves a gourmet bee. Be happy, you will not regret it and your finances either, good appetite.

All in all, after being able to talk with the chef/owner, Pierre Disneur, at the end of the meal, he also enjoyed himself, it's so rare and you can see it, you can taste it, everything here breathes "we will do everything to see you again" and I assure you that he succeeded. We only wanted fish, and we were spoiled. First tasting, a magnificent original presentation composed of a Love Tomato with basil, mini cheese croquette and small crispy topped with avocado mousse, the tone is set. The second, cold herb jelly and shellfish mousseline, all in freshness and well balanced. First course, fish and smoked eel carpaccio accompanied by a thousand flavors, bulgur, trout eggs, young shoots and various small vegetable mousses, a pleasure for the eyes and the palate. Second course, turbot cooked at low temperature, vegetable chutney and spiced jus, beautiful cooking and slightly exotic flavors. The main course, line-caught sea bass cooked in coarse salt, perfectly cooked, vegetable lasagna, potato gratin and light herb cream. For dessert, a wonderful lemon sorbet on a bed of lemon curd and Italian meringue, it explodes in the mouth. The dessert, breathtaking, you think you are eating an apple, it is crunchy and melt-in-your-mouth at the same time, stuffed with a red fruit mousse and accompanied by a light Madagascar vanilla ice cream, a delight. Very nice wine list, tea and homemade treats. Michelin seems to have forgotten them, they have a 3-course lunch for €32 which very much deserves a Bib Gourmand. Treat yourself, you won't regret it, and neither will your finances, bon appétit.
