A whirlwind of emotion! The Chef of the Year 2024 title awarded to talented young Louis Linster is no empty promise. From the palette of appetizers and the magnificent butter brioche, you'd expect a memorable sequel, and you're not disappointed! Right from the start, the slices of hamachi with their lightly burnt crests are as delicate as angels weeping, and the balance between the freshness of the ponzu and the slight spiciness of the jalapeno brings such depth as to make it an exceptional dish. Then there's the extraordinarily epicurean preparation of asparagus with browned butter, the delicacy of Arctic char hidden beneath its streaks of black garlic, and the almost absurdly melt-in-your-mouth squab, perfectly seasoned with purple curry. The desserts are not to be outdone, and the petits fours bring the meal to a sweet and voluptuous close as we await Léa's famous Madeleine finale. The service provided by Njomza Musli and her team confirms the well-deserved title of Hostess of the Year in 2022. An address that never ceases to astound and amaze us. Watch this space!
