But then if you stick to tapas you can have a really good, simple meal.

When they auctioned some of her possessions after her death I wish I'd been able to get there and bid for something even if it was just a wooden spoon.

I felt Goujon's food had become much more refined and creative since we last visited in his one-star days. He isn't resting on his laurels, that's for sure. Thanks for your comment, Andreas!

I fully agree with you, the food does take centre stage at this restaurant and it is sublime. Nothing on the plates is there for decoration only, everything adds to the tasting experience. Went last summer with friends and was somewhat disappointed by the overall experience, some parts of it were definitely not three star but .... What a wonderful review!
