The dishes are all finesse, as appetizing for the eyes as they are delicious on the palate. After having waited to return to the restaurant, this is the perfect opportunity to spoil yourself, with this five-course menu including magnificent appetizer bites — foie gras and smoked eel bites, maple-glazed octopus, crispy potatoes —, a choice of starter (foie gras torchon or Rockefeller oysters) and, as a main course, a land option (short ribs of beef and braised porcini mushrooms) or sea (duo of Argentine shrimp and lobster).
After the fine cheese platter, the sweet finish will literally melt hearts, with its heart of blueberry and lime velvet and light cottage cheese mousse, placed on a crispy shortbread. $190 for two people.
