16/06/2026: Great atmosphere, great food.
The chef is passionate.
I highly recommend it.
28/05/2026: I'm ngl. I couldn't tell you what was on the pizza I just ordered. Of course, each individual ingredient has a name or a way to be described in English. That's not the problem. The limiting reactant in my futile attempt to describe this culinary experiment is that there are simply no words hitherto invented that can even begin to capture the taste, no, the experience that is a pizza du sud ouest.
I remember once having a debate among my classmates on whether words were in fact metaphors, not the perfect messengers of information that they promise to be, but instead a mere facade behind which true meaning resides untouched by human comprehension. I understand now that it was the pizza that touched me. Indeed, I feel like Winston Smith, imagination bursting with ideas unsatisfied but a conscious bounded by the chains of langauge.
The naive passerby simply looking for their next meal might inquire how I might speak so. The recipe is in no way special to this establishment as of my knowledge and the list of ingredients offers a plethora of flavors and textures, a myriad of French delicacies placed in front of you upon a silver, doughy platter. Foie gras, duck breast, dried figs, pine seeds, goat cheese, I am no stranger nor dissenter to these delights, and should I have the privilege to dine on even one of these, no reservation would hamper my showering of five star reviews, but sometimes the total is not the sum of its parts.
Two perfectly tuned notes might birth a devilish, discordant dissonance, and it quickly becomes painfully evident in ones first creative world that diamond and gold blocks are not in fact the best building materials for a house. The Bible teaches its followers not to mix meat and dairy, and just as how combining two guns does NOT make mauga a good character, these individual gifts from God form a Satanic pentagram on ones palate, summoning a pandemonium of paroxysm upon anyone bold enough for the challenge.
Nevertheless, I envy not him with the blissful ignorance of inexperience, nor would I consider this an unpleasant endeavor. While I'll be content leaving my duck breast and dried figs as separate dishes, I implore every adventurer to embark this culinary journey, for it is moments like ones first bite into a pizza du sud ouest that make life worth living.
Oh, and the steak was alright.
