Here's what the inspectors especially enjoyed: among the appetizers, an extraordinary reinterpretation of bouillabaisse; among the courses, spaghetti with zabaglione of concentration sturgeon broth and smoked caviar; and finally, among the desserts, offering a culinary journey to Canada, the home country of chef Jessica Rosval, the "tire à l'érable" (maple syrup mousse and cream, walnuts). On summer evenings, if the weather permits, outdoor dining is enchanting.
