What a surprise, because we were lucky this Saturday that the chef decided not to take any other reservations. So we had a large table in the middle of the room. The decor is timeless old France far from current fashions, in a quiet area but the most important thing is the welcome, the service and the taste and visual qualities for each of the dishes. The Japanese chef has put his creativity and culture at the service of French cuisine and the result is perfect. The combinations are sometimes surprising but the flavor is well highlighted by the accuracy of the cooking, seasoning and dressing. The choice of very colorful dressing hides the main part of the dish allowing for a surprise discovery. From appetizers to sweets, the chef 's mastery is impressive. Small extract: scallops and puff pastry sea bass fillet on a bed of eggplant pan-fried duck foie gras and citrus fruits floating island with strawberries.

We were the only table for service tonight and felt like we had a private chef offering the best cooked and prepared food I have ever encountered in my life. Every dish is an explosion of flavor.
