The opinion of the Michelin Guide: "This young chef creates a fusion cuisine with Asian influences around a menu (with three choices) that obeys the law of the market, products and seasons. All served in a contemporary setting with a room under glass roof. Lunch menus are a bargain, and in the evening the offer becomes more gastronomic."
