From the travel blog of Fodor’s, written by Alexander Lobrano : Designed by architects Rem Koolhaas and Clément Blanchet, this cool white marble space is the sister address to chef Aizpitarte’s Le Chateaubriand restaurant next door. The brief menu changes regularly and showcases his imaginative cooking. For lunch there is a menu fixe, for dinner only bites like tapas.
