Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Gifted pastry chef Sébastien Vauxion takes you on a sweet-toothed escapade, the likes of which you won't have experienced before! His creations, based on fruit and vegetables (combined with dairy produce, chocolate and coffee), are genuinely mind blowing and infinitely tantalising. Take, for example, the potato flanked by Buddha’s hand and parsley, or celeriac with black truffle and mildly spicy citrus fruit pickles. And while the overall effect is undeniably sweet, rest assured, the coherence of each course is fully in keeping with traditional culinary codes thus ensuring that the palate remains fresh and eager for more. One leaves thrilled by the sheer originality and unabashed modernity of this culinary adventure.
