Reviews of interest

• Aaron Ayscough (2012) “…despite the eyebrow-raising prices I still had – and continue to have – a great deal of confidence in owner Bertrand Aboyneau’s supremely savvy restateurism. It was a lovely meal…”
• François Simon (2010) “…calme, apaisé avec son ardoise de poissons du jour.”
• Thierry Richard (2009) ” Des Spéciales du Belon n°3 (quasiment introuvables à Paris, avec un parfum de noisette ultra-percutant), des Utah Beach n°3 (iodées, charnues et tendres comme je les adore)…”
• François Simon (2008) “Dans le genre, difficile de trouver mieux…”
• John Talbott (2008) “Go? Yes for the oysters and white wine.”
