18/01/2026: A very warm welcome awaits you at this surprising establishment, tucked away on a small street in upper Montreuil, yet boasting a small, tree-lined park and private parking. In winter, the fireplace crackles with real logs, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere that thankfully counterbalances the cold, mineral feel of the bare marble tables. In the absence of a mixologist, the aperitif selection is quite conservative and classic. The menu is short, but—what a delightful surprise!—you can choose between a set menu and à la carte! Kudos for preserving this convivial tradition; not everyone is in the mood for a waltz in 6 or 8 steps! The cuttlefish was beautifully sliced ​​into tagliatelle, perfectly cooked and accompanied by a sublime rusty sauce. However, the delicious scallops were disappointingly drowned in a shrimp consommé that also overwhelmed the small quenelle of caviar, whose grains floated sadly in a flavorful broth and faded away without a trace. Then came a robust lobster, undoubtedly swum all the way from Brittany, its flavor enhanced by a bisque whose concentration is probably a true chef's secret. But above all, there was a John Dory that truly deserved its place at the entrance to paradise, its delicate texture magnified by a truly heavenly bourride! A judicious recommendation led us to discover the Roussanne grape variety used in Savoy whites, lending aromatic notes that perfectly complemented our choice of seafood in the Chignin served with our dishes. The vanilla variation of the dessert remained somewhat understated, delicate but marred by an overly pronounced gelatinous coating. The table service was friendly but still a touch immature. In short, a wonderful experience and a real incentive to return to Montreuil to witness the very likely rise of this fine establishment!
