Overall, an above average experience. Unfortunately not a three star one. Very intimate dining room which can get a little chaotic. A view of the kitchen when walking in. Very nice bathroom which is located downstairs. We ordered the full course menu (Grand Horizon) with dessert wines. It was a chef's special with surprises. I am missing one course in the photos. The head waiter was phenomenal and ensured to answer all of my questions and gave back stories regarding the history of the restaurant. He made the experience amazing, he is truly a professional. He ensured our anniversary was recognized, allowed us a meet with the chef, and provided us with a signed menu. He is the standard of what a head waiter should be. It it obvious the sommelier is relatively new as he is very nervous. One of the younger female waitresses was also very nervous. They need more time to find their groove. It did take away from the experience a little bit. The food was definitely good and presented perfectly. Great portions. It did over rely on the typical ingredients at many Michelin restaurants (truffles, caviar, etc). Wasn't super innovative. The chef shouldn't be afraid to fall upon his heritage on more of his dishes. The difference between the menus based on observation didn't make it seems like getting the most expensive option worth it. Unfortunately this restaurant is no longer worthy of three stars, maybe 2. Definitely 1.

Staff explained very well the menu and very patient and nice, paid a lot of attention to their appearance. International creative cuisine. The best mastery of sorbet and of using fruits to balance tastes. However, chef was not the best 3-star chef among my experiences.

We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend. The pigeon was the standout - cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Wonderful service too.

Not a bad restaurant per say, just not what we would have expected from a 3 michelin star restaurant. We had the Grand Horizon menu. It was a bit nosy so it was difficult to understand what the staff was saying, and while they had a dress code, one person came in sweatpants and a track jacket without issues. I still don’t know what the actual difference between the menus was. We were asked from the start if we wanted some glasses of champagne withoud knowing the price. That was an extra 110 euros. The staff in general felt rigid, and many times they were out of sync. Explanation of the food was minimal. The bread and butter stayed with us for way to long. They were taken away only after the desert but after the first courses the bread was no longer replenished so we just had 2 empty plates and butter on the table. I think it was only taken away before the desert. We planned this months in advance for my wifes birthday but it was a bit underwhelming. Taking everything into account I really can’t agree that this experience would be worth a special journey. Again, it’s not that it was a bad restaurant, or bad service or bad food in general. It’s just that it didn’t meet our expectations. There were some restaurants that were recommended only in Paris, without any stars that had better overall service and atmosphere.

OMG!!! The best experience we had for this Europe trip!!! The food, the service, the wine!!! Perfect!!! What a wonderful experience tonight, I can’t wait to write this review! They opened 2 bottle of DRC because the first is corked. What an amazing service, not like other Michelin restaurant. They serve the wine even corked a told you that’s how it tastes. The most impressive dish tonight will be the wagyu beef! We had a lot wagyu, Japan, Australia, it’s good but always too fat. But today what we have is sooooooo good, balanced! We will come back for sure!👍
