ALLIANCE

I'll be honest, the prices are cheap, but the food really makes you forget what I ate today.

Another sensational lunch at Alliance. We chose the three-course lunch but we surely had six or seven courses. And every dish was fresh and original with superb purity of flavors from the excellent products the chef is clearly sourcing. One of very minor complaints about Alliance that I've had in the past is that some dishes repeat from year to year. That was not the case with our lunch. One of our favorite amuses were the rouleaux de printemps (spring rolls) one with quinoa, lemon and herbs, and one with beetroot and garlic. Another of our “non-courses” was sea urchin mixed with a mousse of grapefruit and compari and served in the sea urchin shell. Then there was the potage of pumpkin the consistency of light cream with bits of caramelized pumpkin and covered with a coffee foam to offset the sweetness. Our entrée was a beautiful pâté en croûte made of pheasant, partridge and colvert (mallard duck) served with a tomato chutney and a homemade dark bread. The main plat was chicken breast with a perfectly mastered vin jaune sauce. The dish was garnished with small chestnuts and a square of roasted thigh meat. Before dessert we enjoyed a lovely light celery mousse infused with fruit juice to add a little sweetness, and covering a small dice of some translucent fruit underneath. Dessert was also light: fine apple slices arranged like rings of a tree served with a lemon cream sorbet and tuiles shaped around the apple, and assorted other bits. Final thoughts? Probably the best meal of the trip.

Repas exceptionnel, à la hauteur d’un 2 étoile sans souci. Cuisine gourmande et savoureuse. Mention spéciale aux gnocchi et à l’équipe ????

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée d’anniversaire. Humour, professionnalisme, grande qualité des plats, originalité et précision des présentations, enchaînées sans être bousculées, le tout arrosé d’un formidable vin, laissé au choix de Shawn. Merci à toute l’équipe !

包场的体验真的不错，菜和服务都很满意，环境没得说，是一次美好的回忆。
