But beware: this a Nouvelle cuisine degustation restaurant with small, artistically presented portions. In my three-course meal, the entree was small bits of a special Spanish beef wrapped with sardine filets. Very original, good, but not much to eat. Very comprehensive and expensive wine card. With a Jack Daniels and one of the cheapest wines, my tab was EUR 110.

The pigeon came in frist all raw , bllod all over the plate and the apple?onion gratin over done. The next try for the pigeon still tasteless. And the desserts: the waiter flipped over the art piece of the chef and the rhubarb straberry sherbet was hidden on a half ball of merigne. The rhubarbs around the plate were raw.. All this costs us for 155 euro two glasses of champagne , 2 glasses or red wine and a bottle of sparkling water) The drinks were at the right temperature. Talked to the chef personally, but he did not change his attide of the pigeon portion: it is the first time ever he get a complaints. Please Michelin people check the rating again.
