This restaurant pays tribute to Mélanie Rouat (1878-1954), a friend of Curnonsky and a two-star chef in her day. Her great-great grandson, chef Jean-Baptiste Caillarec, and his pastry chef partner, Laura Martinon, both of whom boast stints in prestigious establishments, have opened this bright, contemporary restaurant, fronted by a lovely courtyard patio that is taken by storm in fine weather. The pair painstakingly sources top-quality ingredients, which they craft into succulent dishes: hot and cold clams, creamy parsley and dulse; ‘Mélanie’ lobster in cream; a new twist on oatmeal flan.
