We were well looked after as soon as we walked through the front door! The food was fantastic - you could see the level of detail and thought that went into every single course. We were seated near the kitchen and it was neat to see how well co-ordinated and efficient the staff worked! We didn't have to wait long between courses either, which I appreciate.

Calming muted color scheme and attentive servers welcome you to the Pantagruel experience. Inspired by the story, the restaurant serves most courses (not mignondises) in three variations - with unfortunately varying degrees of success. Some hits, but many more misses. Overly heavy reliance on sixteen-too-many creamy emulsions. We enjoyed lunch, but for the expectation and price point, there are many things that could have been done with better planning, creativity, balance, and execution. By and large they were almost always missing textural contrast, and had too many same-texture/similar-taste emulsions. All but one dish was crazily missing acidity, and all savory dishes that had sweet elements fell very, very short on the sweet expression (peach and apricot entirely lost). We had a wine, called Face B, paired with the guinea fowl course that was amazingly and deliciously complex but on the lighter side, perfectly selected. 4 other wines, most of them unique and intriguing. Amuse Bouche: chickpea and tuna, 3 different ways (same sauce was re-used twice) Fried panisse was not crispy and was cold, three thumbs down.
First course: Eggplant and peach, 3 different ways (same sauce was re-used twice, peach was unimpressive throughout) Fried eggplant had lost most of its crunch.
Fish course: Monkfish, kohlrabi & almond, 3 different ways (sous vide monkfish slice was great, Fried almond shaped almond crust "fritter" was a great idea) With the almond crusty fritter, there was something amazing that we'd both never had before... Super light aioli. I think they cut regular aioli (made with garlic juice, no pulp whatsoever, so super creamy) with whipped cream... it was really interesting. Not as oily or heavy as regular aioli. That was a revelation for sure!
Meat course: Guinea fowl, zucchini & apricot, 3 different ways (sous vide poulty is thumbs down, but the pickled zucchini with lobster bread crumb salad was outstanding - the only dish with complementary acidity; Guinea fowl street food fritter tasted of improper oil temperature, yuck)
Pre Dessert: Thai basil ice cream was outstanding, as was accompanying sparking rose
Dessert: Hibiscus and blueberries, three ways (worst tuile ever-stunningly awful enough to ruin that dessert, also flaccid French toast, a sad, sad trio attemp at dessert)
Birthday cake (chocolate, and thank you!!🙏): Top crust (inverted onto plate) was deliciously crunchy, and the tiny surrounding cookies were good - the whole meal needed more crunch, more textural variation thought.
Cafe noisette: very good.
Mignonettes: Chocolate dusted thing was forgettable, the peach bit with hibiscus tea was even more forgettable... Blah - and WHY was this course not done in matching 3 part set like everything else?
More textural and mouth contrasts would have made it a good meal. That and adding acidity and sweet contrast would have made it a very good meal.
Pantagruel has backed themselves into a corner by requiring all courses to be three way combinations... that doesn't always come easily and obviously isn't able to do well. Three ways should NEVER be done just for the sake of doing it - which tastes like the case here. Points for creativity, where it actually existed, but too many items were only merely acceptable, and variety was oddly lacking. For this price and expectation, that is not good enough. Would still go back and try again!
