The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The famous restaurant of Jacques Le Divellec (1983-2013) is now the lair of Mathieu Pacaud. The culinary theme continues to demonstrate a seafaring slant and the food keeps pace with the tides, paying a fine tribute to first-class seafood, such as sole meunière from small boats with hazelnut butter or wild young turbot from Brittany. Take a seat on the deck and savour the view over the Esplanades of the Invalides. The establishment has even extended its premises into a former bookshop, creating a winter garden-inspired room depicted by woven wicker panels.
