Restaurant H
The "H" is for Hubert Duchenne, a chef hailing from Normandy, whose CV includes stints working for Akrame Benallal and Jean-François Piège. Behind the discreet, elegant façade, the intimate space done out in a chic yet cosy style accommodates fewer than 20 diners. The dishes are deftly done and always on point, whether razor clams with parsley (their signature dish), pollack with amaranth seeds – puffed and as a risotto or barbecued Jersey beef with creamy carrot and activated charcoal: almost every plate enchants the palate thanks to a remarkable balance of roasted and tangy notes. The chef's inventive and skilfully executed dishes, based on premium seasonal produce, form a single set menu – you're in for a treat!
