Our second time visiting this restaurant.  Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Unfortunately it was too cold to sit outside at their rooftop area. The view is stunning from there.
On a side note, the restaurant has very nice photos of Picasso himself .

Was here in October 2023. Highly disappointing. The food was 3 out of 5 stars IF we exclude the price.

Summary: not the ex- Michelin star restaurant that one would expect. Food was not mind blowing (a Chinese restaurant would have been tastier), service was rushed which is not suitable for such institutions as our plate was cleared at least thrice before we were ready. Wine was mediocre at best (after a sommelier recommended those to us) despite charging 95EUR for 1 bottle of white and 65 EUR for a bottle of red). No explanation was given for each meal - I had no idea what the intention was, nor inspiration for the dish, nor tips on eating it.
Environment/ Ambiente was excellent - as expected for an ex 2018 Michelin star establishment.

The food:
The effort put into meals: out of a 7 course meal only 2 were partially tasty and one fully tasty but low effort - truffle risotto - standard but truffle enhanced the flavour. The duck cooked 2 ways (1 of which was very nicely done). A small praline was good (one of the desserts).

I had better Tapas in bars in Sevilla with more intense flavour and use of spices than in the entire evening at this establishment.

Bill: 567 EUR for 6 people + 40 EUR tip.

Disclaimer: apparently if the group is majority French speaking they do explain the dishes. I have not noticed such thing the day I was there on any of our neighbouring tables however.

We reserved a place for 5 in advance, the system is polite. The place is exceptionally situated. The tables on the terrace are overcrowded a bit, at least I personally prefer at least 1m distance from the next table, but ambiance is szill great. The food clearly is prepared by a professional chef but we have had disappointments. The ravioli homard... I have had a bitter(ish) leek base that cotrasted the foamy-buttery sauce, completely overpowering the homard. Maybe opinionated but this was not to my taste. But. I can live with a dish that I personally do not like. However the underskilled service was a total disgrace to the place. We have given specific intructions to not bring fish with the head on the table, happened. Received no apology. Specifically asked for fish skin to not be served. No apology. The fish had bones in it. No apology. Order of dishes confused, no apology. We understand that when something goes wrong it takes practice to handle, but I did not associate this level of amateurism with this place. Especially that all dishes ended up on the bill. (!!!) For me, this has been a truly and utterly disappointing occasion. I can see the place being capable for great service, slightly sad that this had to be a low point of our vacation.

Great ambiance, indoor seating in October 2023. Full house yet service and attentiveness was great. We had lunch, took the recomended daily for €27/person. This included wine and dessert.
It was for sure worth the price. The risotto was very creamy, the pumpkin slices in the middle was fermented in cloves and was cripy and perfect.
The desserts alone was worth the price, five different small pieces. All very good.
Highly recomended for a good autumn lunch.
