LE SAINT SÉBASTIEN

WHO
Couple Daniela Lavadenz (formerly of Le 6 Paul Bert) and Thomas Deck (of Deck & Donohue brewery) teamed up with American chef Robert Mendoza (formerly of Willows Inn on Lummi Island) to open this French néobistro.

FOOD
A tight chef-driven menu both for dinner and lunch, with the advantage of lunch being a true steal at €24 for a 3-course menu. For us:
- Perfectly roasted carrots with watercress and dried beef to start
- Expertly cooked hake with white asparagus and caper sauce as a main
- Beautiful citrus tart with mint and a Mezcal-infused whipped cream

DRINKS
A comprehensive drinks list including wine (such as an Alsation red from Jean Pierre Rietsch (€8,5 a glass) or a La Baraterie white from Savoie (€7,50 a glass), beer (Deck & Donohue naturally – €7 for a pint) and cocktails (like their homemade Vermouth – €8 a glass).

DECOR
Sleek with terrazzo flooring, large windows, emerald green accents and an open kitchen.

NOISE
Surprisingly quiet for such a busy spot.

SEATING
Wood and marble tables and green and wood chairs.

VIBE
Mostly serious foodies admiring the gorgeous plating.

SERVICE
Professional.

WOULD RECOMMEND
For your sophisticated foodie friends.
