Very expensive. Lucas Carton has found the formula to accommodate a diner’s varying wants and needs and consistently serves delectable meals under the close supervision of its owner-chef who after many years at the top still seems to be passionate about he does best, offering guests extraordinary meals. The food is always delicious on or off the set menu, the staff team is remarkable, the ambiance is bright and intimate at the same time and the overall experience is always special and memorable. Specialties include “Apicius” duck roasted with honey and spices (2 people, 50 mn cooking) described as “a 2000 year old dish from Ancient Rome,” served with a glass of Banyuls 1985 – Cave de l’Etoile for the supreme served with a glass of Banyuls Solera “Hors d’âge.” A.
