Paris, France
From Michelin Guide
In this contemporary restaurant, Aveyron-born chef Julien Boscus finetunes bold, crisp cuisine thanks to a solid classical background. His genuine à la carte lineup (something of a rarity these days…) showcases intelligently crafted, flavoursome dishes made with first-class seasonal produce. Examples include a delicious crispy tartlet filled with morel mushrooms creamed in sous-voile wine, or sautéed calf sweetbreads with green asparagus from Vaucluse steamed in citron, while his amazing hare à la royale, reworked in a more modern vein, deserves a special mention. The wine list stars an impressive selection from France's vineyards, served by a slick, professional team. Friendly and endearing!
