22/12/2025: My previous review was in 2023, and I gave it a 5. We returned once or twice in 2024, and everything was good. But today we were disappointed. We ordered two menus for €49. The impression we were left with was that everything was too soft, even liquid. For example, the octopus was good, well-cooked, but served with a carrot puree and only two small pieces of grilled bacon: with six pieces, the dish would have been more balanced and crispier. The "marron" dessert didn't live up to our expectations; the speculoos spices in the base dominated the dish, overpowering the flavor of the chestnut. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delicious and beautifully presented. We took the opportunity to try a Slovenian white wine. Cheeses at Mr Fromage in Nogent: excellent Maroilles, but I'm less enthusiastic about the Parmesan, which was deliberately chosen very young; I would have preferred a good Comté. We'll definitely be back.
