Frommer's Review

The most sophisticated restaurant in town specializes in cuisine moderne du marché (modern market cuisine), employing the freshest ingredients to create artfully presented menus that change, often radically, eight times a year. The setting is an 1870 house a 10-minute walk from the cathedral. In summer, an awning shades an outdoor terrace. Pierre Boussereau and Olivier Laplaine are devoted to cultivating fresh salad greens and herbs in their garden, and use them to garnish such platters as carpaccio of duck liver. Other dishes may include leg of pheasant stuffed with poultry livers and served with braised cabbage and hazelnut oil; scallops with a mousse of green beans; smoked lamb served à la plancha with pepperoni-studded salsa and saffron-fried potatoes; calves' liver served with thickened veal stock and fresh cardamom; and red mullet with a sauce of thickened fish stock and star anise.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
