LE CHIBERTA

A Culinary Symphony at La Chiberta: An Unforgettable Journey Through French Artistry

Dining at La Chiberta is not merely a meal—it’s an exquisite narrative of flavors, textures, and seasonal poetry. Priced at €145 per person, their Signature Tasting Menu is a masterclass in refined French cuisine, celebrating regional ingredients and innovative techniques. Designed for communal enjoyment, this six-course odyssey left our table in awe, each dish a testament to the chef’s visionary craft.

1. Green Asparagus from Roques-Hautes
The evening began with a burst of spring: tender green asparagus, steamed to perfection with aromatic herbs, rested alongside velvety burrata and zesty citrus. Light yet deeply flavorful, this opener was a vibrant homage to Provence’s terroir, setting a tone of freshness and elegance.

2. Duck Foie Gras in Beeswax
Luxury redefined. The foie gras, cocooned in golden beeswax, emerged silkier than imaginable, its richness delicately tempered by saffron and thyme. A dish that felt both opulent and earthy, it was a nod to tradition with a whisper of modern alchemy.
3. Crispy Red Mullet
A Mediterranean jewel, the red mullet’s crisp skin gave way to succulent flesh, elevated by creamy cauliflower and a daring hint of Kerala black pepper. The spice lingered subtly, a warm crescendo that bridged continents without overshadowing the sea’s delicate bounty.

4. “Pil-Pil” Veal Sweetbreads
A daring dance of land and sea. The sweetbreads, bathed in a garlicky olive oil emulsion, were paired with tender cuttlefish and crisp white asparagus. Umami-rich and texturally sublime, this course was a bold, harmonious ode to culinary daring.

5. Pre-Dessert
A whimsical interlude: a palate-cleansing prelude that sparkled with citrus and lightness. Though details were scant, its refreshing zest primed us for the grand finale.

6. Spring Honey
The dessert was a sunlit meadow on a plate—golden honey swirled with earthy sweet potato and tangy grapefruit. Each spoonful balanced sweetness and brightness, a poetic farewell to spring’s ephemeral beauty.

Conclusion
La Chiberta’s tasting menu is a triumph of imagination and precision. Each course, a meticulously crafted chapter, showcased seasonal ingredients with technical brilliance and emotional depth. At €145, the experience is a worthy investment for connoisseurs and curious epicureans alike—a celebration of shared joy and the artistry of French gastronomy. For those seeking a meal that lingers in memory long after the last bite, La Chiberta delivers nothing short of magic. *À votre santé!*

C’est un lieu que je connaissais que j’appréciais, mais qui ne m’aide plus ces étoiles et le statut associé. Le service est très limite, il n’est pas désagréable, mais on se sent pas très bien du tout. Gustativement, on est loin d’un restaurant étoilé. Dans l’un de nos plats, nous avons trouvé de limaille de fer( photo prise). Nous l’avons signalé au directeur de salle et la seule réponse de sa part a été de dire que ça devait être dû au nettoyage de l’assiette. Pas d’excuse pas de geste commercial, pas de changement du plat, je n’ai jamais vu ça nous avons pris un cocktail sans alcool En apéritif qui avait strictement aucun goût. De l’eau à peine aromatisée. Nous avons fait part de notre déception au serveur qui n’a eu aucune réaction. On a l’impression qu’il se moque tous de la satisfaction client, ils font leur travail rempli leur mission sans plus ça se passe bien pour le client tant mieux ça se passe pas bien tant pis. En tout cas J’étais venu plusieurs fois dans ce restaurant, je pense que je n’y viendrai plus jamais. Dommage c’était une très belle adresse sur Paris.

Première visite depuis le changement de propriétaire.
Tout était parfait.
Plat, service, etc.
.

Un restaurant haut de gamme, pas de fausse note mais sans étincelle non plus. Plats assez classiques. Les desserts ne sont pas tout à fait au niveau.
