MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine

You need a raft of superlatives to describe the work of Alexandre Mazzia at AM, his restaurant located in a chic residential area not far from the Stade Vélodrome. A true artist of a chef who is in perpetual motion, he elevates the small-portion format to the realm of art; he is a virtuoso when it comes to spices, roasting and smoking; his childhood memories of the Congo flow through his cuisine. In his hands, the gastronomic mould as we know it has been broken, but, more importantly, it all makes sense! Take, for instance, his trout roe and wild salmon with smoked milk and roasted hazelnuts – in which the intensity of flavour is second to none – or the breaded langoustines with sesame seeds and bonito, a lemon-geranium condiment and seaweed popcorn – a pure wonder. At each sitting, the lucky few are whisked away on a unique adventure of taste sensations, enhanced by perfect service.
