 I sat next to Chef Romain Mahi at a dinner produced and hosted by a supplier of high end products to upscale restaurants. I was immediately impressed by his knowledge of and passion for ,cooking and a boyish charm that I hope he never loses.
 
I quickly booked a table for lunch accompanied by M, my sommeliere extraordinaire. We were effusively welcomed by sommelier Etienne Billard who is slowly building a cellar of highly personalised and often surprising references like the 2015 Crémant de Jura from Domaine Labet that launched our meal.
After a tartellete of chèvre fumé to open our tatse buds Chef Romain sent out  baby green asparagus stalks, grilled leeks and conger eel and for M
White cumin / sabayon cuttlefish / candied orange
We finished our crémant de Jura that represents Etiennes mission to educate palates to new and unespected experiences-dry and only mildly efferevcent unlike the safe choice, a cremant de Burgogne.

M had Cod with cauliflower, watercress with baby peas and horseradish root, paired withMâcon-Solutré-Pouilly 2017 Manoir du Capucin, Bourgogne

Whole pigeon yellow zucchini, fava beans and brown butter

A peppery Côtes du Rhône 2015
Domaine de la Biscarelle, Vallée du Rhône was a perfect match.

Chocolate mousse, pink grapefruit , hibiscus sorbet and raspberry coulis with the slightest hint of wasabi.

The very lightest Chiffon Cake capped an exciting meal from a talented team of young professionals.

Thre is a suugestion of Japan in the beauty of the presentations and the dashes of unexpected ingredients that complement the chef's 14 years of disciplined French training and cooking.
