The place was a random find, close to La Defense where I…read morespent a few weeks for work. I was looking for a classic Brasserie and signed-up when the owner told me the chef was Japanese. I live in California and only eat Mediterranean style food but also have great influences from Asia. This turned out to be the perfect place for my taste. The flavors were rich and subtle, and the execution pitch perfect. I can't say how it compares to other French Michelin stars but it's hands down better than anything I ever experienced in California. I am still grappling with how tantalizing this was.

I rang to book for the St Valentine evening - think it was actually the chef who answered - anyway,…read morehappy conversation...definitely not a St Valentine meal but the usual menu (after last year's disaster at La Guingette, one of our favourite places usually, we avoid anything "special") We arrived, coats taken, welcoming and cosy reception and atmosphere. I thought the menu a little small We settled on a Viognier and a Brouilly while we decided. In the end we both chose the smoked salmon, my partner went for the piece du boucher (bavette with a sort of mash, mushrooms and a sauce...and a surcharge) and I chose the souris d'agneau with mash. Accompanied by a 50cl Malbec; then coffee I thought the salmon was well smoked but my partner - who is Scandinavian - thought too much so. Ignoring that, it was delicious But we both left rather disappointed...mainly because the bavette, as is so often the case in France with any steak, was was as tough as old boots (and too red for me in any event) ...sorry from the waitress when she asked how our meal was, doesn't really cut it.. As it was, my partner left at least 3/4s of it. My souris was fine but needed some vegetables of some description; it looked a little lonely. I seem otherwise to have chosen well, plenty of meat and very tender Thought it was or had been a Rostang place, but not so sure. Shame, nearly but not quite
