The small, exquisitely appointed restaurant of an Art deco-inspired bijou hotel is plush without being starched. The Nice-born chef signs a modern inspired score, founded on consummate craftsmanship and a genuine passion for forthright flavours. The menu celebrates the Mediterranean courtesy of sun-drenched dishes in which veggies play the main roles, savvily enhanced with judicious spices. High-precision cooking, big-boned jus and delicately balanced seasonings set the scene, illustrated by a marinated fillet of mackerel in tosazu vinegar, creating a vibrant combination of contrasts. The desserts are equally polished. The quintessence of fine dining paired with suitably slick service.
