Le Zeste Gourmand

Benjamin Bouvard earned his stripes at Bocuse and La Pyramide before opening this establishment. Expect a minimalist interior that is in tune with the zeitgeist, and food to match. The top-notch produce is well crafted to create variations in texture in dishes such as beef cheek confit cromesqui with a reduced jus, creamy parsley root and pickles. The Dombes chicken with a Thai marinade is a creative and artfully plated dish. Finally, when it comes to dessert, the chocolate and pine feuille-à-feuille pastry shows a mastery of ingredients and a desire to deliver meticulous presentations. Front of house, the service is well-paced and cordial.
