Reviews of interest
- François Simon (2011) “…adresse adorable…plats cinglants comme ces œufs mollets, crème de persil, potiron. C’est désarmant au possible (lieu jaune, coques, polenta) et surtout debout dans l’assiette, déjà vainqueurs, délurés, décidés.”
- Le Figaro (2011) “…l’aplomb d’une nouvelle génération qui n’a pas froid aux yeux. Le propos est vif et dru et les produits tombent pile au centre de cette danse tonique: céleri-rave en croûte de sel, champignons de Paris et parmesan; cocos de Paimpol, calamars et sorbet poivron rouge…”
- Emmanuel Rubin – Le Figaro (2011) “…une cuisine de sens et de saveur…Service pétillant…”
- Aaron Ayscough (2011) “…a pokey loser wine list…No identifably natural producers. No especially acclaimed producers, even.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2011) “…for a newborn, Chatomat is good, and as the cooks in the kitchen come up to speed and find the confidence to dare more authoritative and inventive seasoning, it’ll surely become even better.”
- Philippe Toinard for A Nous Paris (2011) “La goûteuse surprise de la rentrée, c’est incontestablement cette miniscule adresse nichée dans le quartier de Ménilmontant.”
