Christian Étienne Review

Stellar period decor in a renovated 12th-century mansion makes for an impressive backdrop to innovative and delicious cuisine. Try the sea scallops powdered with hazelnuts and served with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms and spinach coulis, pan-roasted Iberian port with lemon sable, violet artichokes, and watercress; or splurge for the whole lobster sautéed in olive oil, muscat grapes, and beurre blanc with verjuice. If you are on a budget try the more affordable €35 lunch menu.

    Our son had arranged to pay for a very special occasion dinner here, otherwise we wouldn't have gone near it because of the very high prices. The tasting menu ("autumn vegetable") was exquisite, every course a small gem of delectable tastes and textures. The setting is lovely as well, although the Mistral gales kept all inside. Only downside was a certain mild neglect and condescension toward us: obviously not going to be regulars, not the Beautiful-People VIPs we saw around us (I'd never before seen provision of small metal racks so women didn't have to put their Birkin bags directly on the floor). And we didn't order several bottles of the wine - as exquisite as it was.
