L'Impulsif

Established on the ground floor of a Belle Époque edifice, chef Rémi Laroque rustles up modern, distinctly globe-trotting food. This Puy-de-Dôme lad with Vietnamese origins scatters his cooking with numerous Asian, particularly Japanese twists. His wholehearted culinary dedication shines through, particularly in the line-up of dishes around a single ingredient (be it lobster or fennel) that fully embody his spot-on knack for pairing. His medallion of monkfish, flanked by fennel, lovage oil and coconut cream, showcases his delicate craftsmanship. Street art on the walls, unusual tableware and amazing plant sculptures set the scene.
