Michelin one-star restaurant run by Rennes-born chef Virginie Giboire, serving refined contemporary cuisine built on small Breton producers.
Chef Virginie Giboire was born in Rennes and worked under Guy Martin and Thierry Marx. The restaurant sits on a small passage near Champs-Élysées Square. Its bright, modern space and streamlined menu feature ingredients mostly from small Breton producers, while the wine list covers both small growers and prestigious estates. Dishes have included white asparagus with cured pork back fat, beef flank with celeriac, and a seaweed and wood sorrel lemon meringue tart. Lunch on Tuesday to Friday costs about €45 for a set menu, dinner is more expensive, and reservations should be made in advance by phone or on the website. Closed Sunday and Monday.
