Before modernising these premises, Julie (restaurant floor and wine) and Lucas (kitchen) met at Régis and Jacques Marcon's restaurant, a benchmark if ever there was one. At L'Acte 2, they are now welcoming customers of their own into this small, contemporary dining space. Slow-cooked egg, cauliflower cream, grilled onion emulsion, baby spinach and peanuts; guinea fowl cooked two ways, pearl barley risotto, wilted carrot tops and mushrooms, jus corsé: he goes all out in his endeavours to create well-crafted dishes.
