RESTAURANT JACQUES FAUSSAT

Jacques Faussat welcomes you with the warmth and bonhomie of Gers. He is a star leader, he keeps his simplicity: as is good in Paris! Especially for a chef who has such an impressive career… After obtaining a cookery CAP as well as that of pastry pastry-confectionery-chocolate maker in Tarbes, in 1982, he won the "Best apprentice in Southwest" competition. He then travels to France in prestigious establishments such as the Ripa Alta, Fouquet's, the Prés of Eugénie or Trou Gascon. In 2002, he bought La Careful restaurant in the 17 ^th arrondissement of Paris, which he decided to change from his own name, and he was elected best chief of the year. In 2004, he was awarded his first Michelin star.

Although very attached to his Gers, he is inspired by the sun kitchens, where he has already exercised his art, particularly Spanish, Italian or Moroccan cuisines. His taste for spices married to an inventive and very precise kitchen allows him to flirt with the most subtle balances. Taste is omnipresent and in the plate flavours blend with the colors of the dishes. We recommend especially, in entry, Marenne oysters in seawater jelly and liver/smoked herring/egg in curry, flat perch roasted on skin, white asparagus of Bay and young leeks. As for dessert, we've melted pleasure with the mango soufflé and its mojito grout. On the wine side, Jacques Faussat's wine-maker made the choice of producer wines always fair and perfectly adapted to the plate. On the atmosphere, lovers of good dining will appreciate the calm and the discretion of the places. A cosy atmosphere and well spaced tables to preserve the privacy of everyone. A very good address, where grandeur, simplicity, refinement and subtlety lends itself perfectly to all levels and to the base of course.
