And, I’m still hungry–or would be if I hadn’t filled up on bread. Nice’s trendiest and most celebrated restaurant, La Reserve (tel: 04 97 08 29 98; Palais de la Reserve),\u00a0 has an unbelievable location overlooking the sea facing west. (I can just imagine the sunsets).<\/p>\n

Jouni Tormanen is the chef, justly praised for his finely executed delicacies. Although La Reserve opened last year offering two restaurants–La Reserve and Bistro La Reserve for the budget-minded–this winter there’s only one. La Crise?<\/em><\/p>\n

Lunch service offered two options: the Bistro menu for \u20ac30 which included a main course and dessert and the La Reserve Menu for \u20ac65 proposing an entr\u00e9e, main course and dessert. We opted for the Bistro menu.<\/p>\n

No one could argue with the quality of the cuisine or the presentation. The amuse bouche<\/em> was a double pur\u00e9e of chestnut and topinambour <\/em>(Jerusalim artichoke) and then, for good measure there was another amuse bouche<\/em> –an emulsion of leek and potato. If only there was four times the quantity! The main course was a boudin<\/em> of fish in a sorrel sauce. Absolutely divine. I’ll take three, please. No not three pieces, three servings! It was really starter-sized. All the hearty, home-baked rolls were used to sop up the sauce.<\/p>\n

Dessert was equally ravishing–two delicate, flaky crusts topped with fresh rasberries and blueberries enclosed a chestnut pur\u00e9e. Caramel ice cream on the side created a lovely, cool bath for the concoction.<\/p>\n

Verdict: First-class cuisine, first-class view but stingy portions.<\/p>\n
