Trusted reviews
- Patricia Wells (2011) “Sébastien Gravé and David Bottreau have… created a one-of-a-kind fish restaurant with a true personality. And you’ll feel as though you’ve hit the jackpot if you arrive on a warm, sunny day and dine on the compact terrace facing the fountain on Rue Saint-Dominique… Modern, refreshing, satisfying.”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “La petite perle marine de la rue St Dominique, ouverte tous les jours et notamment durant le « grand méchant août ». On aime, sans réserve, leur décor chic et moderne, leur coin de terrasse face à la Fontaine de Mars (le monument aussi bien que la table fameuse évoquée avant hier), mais on n’a que du bien à dire de leur cuisine savoureuse et changeante.”
- John Talbott (2009) “Should one go? For the one-star quality fish and inventive starters alone.”
- Figaroscope (2009) “…tous sont préparés avec un indéniable talent. Goûtez par exemple à l’épais dos de turbot meunière servi avec des supions en persillade et une mousse de persil ou à ce formidable tartare de saint-jacques et saumon au curry rouge, parfumé et pointu.”
