Having run the kitchens at Lasserre (one of the temples of classical French cuisine) for many years, Jean-Louis Nomicos is now well installed in this restaurant bearing his name. For this bard of gastronomic tradition, who was born near Marseille and grew up in a world where bouillabaisse is king, culinary arts and techniques are first and foremost about the senses and pleasures of the palate. It is within these parameters that he reveals the full potential of his successful recipes and top-notch ingredients – Mediterranean wherever possible, of course – including his signature macaroni with black truffles and duck foie gras. The contemporary decor provides the perfect foil to this chef’s culinary endeavours.
