In his swish new Palais Royal HQ, Martino Ruggieri gives free rein to his creative bent in an exceptional setting. The menu immediately sets the tone, courtesy of free-verse poems that arouse both our senses and our artistic sensibility: “White”, “Beasts and Abysses”, “Delicacy”, “Strength”… The score unveils the Italian chef’s love of daring combinations (sea urchin and foie gras, bacon and almonds, calf’s sweetbread with dulse  seaweed), powerful flavours and bold sauces. Ruggieri helms a culinary workshop that has no qualms about shaking off the cobwebs of tradition.
