I had a nice lunch here. I didn’t get to sit in their garden room, but it was raining that day so I’m guessing it wasn’t open. The inside area where I sat was cozy with comfortable high back chairs. They have a set lunch menu for €45 which I had, the full tasting menu at €130, and also a la carte items which as @bcc mentioned above were quite expensive.
English Menu
You can pick from a couple of options each for entrée, plat, and dessert.
Bread and Butter
Amuse Bouche
A savory mousse, a mini croque monsieur, and a parmesan crisp. I liked the mini croque monsieur the most.
Banka Trout
Gravlax; kohlrabi, radish, marinated daikon turnip and gomasio, kohlrabi dressing with hazelnut oil
Largish chunks of a trout gravlax. The vinaigrette was poured on top at the table and was only slightly acidic. The kohlrabi, which I’m unfamiliar with, looked and tasted a bit like melon. Also had a few spoonfuls of trout roe. Very nice dish that had some Japanese influence I think.
Line-fished Pollack
Sealed with olive oil; garden peas velvety, Iberico di Bellota chorizo and Corsican grapefruit
The cod was cooked nicely - a little medium rare in the middle, on top of a pea purée. Topped at the table with a butter sauce that added a little richness. Saltiness and sourness from the hard chorizo cubes and grapefruit bits respectively.
Emperor’s Rhubarb
Variation: Roasted/Sorbet/Gel/Stewed
I was a little apprehensive of this dessert because I’m not the biggest rhubarb fan, but it was quite good. The roasted or stewed rhubarb in the middle was very tender.
Petits Fours
A ginger marshmallow and a small cake of some sort, both tasty.
Lot of nice delicate flavors in this lunch, though I’m guessing I might have had a totally different experience had I picked the heartier sounding egg en meurette and the veal liver as entrée and plat instead. They don’t have a wine pairing for the lunch menu but the sommelier recommended a couple of glasses. Service was excellent.
