<\/div>

“La Reserve”, the lushly praised (and lushly expensive) restaurant shepherded to Michelin stardom by Finnish chef, Jouni Tormanen, is in bankruptcy proceedings. Despite an unbeatable location overlooking the sea, the two-tier restaurant was hit hard by the recent economic crisis despite having opened a lower-priced “bistro” on the ground floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a recent visit, we found the “gastronomic” restaurant upstairs was closed for the winter, probably in an effort to cut the massive overhead that running this establishment entailed. Although the \u20ac25 two-course lunch was not expensive, the portions were miniscule, like a parody of nouvelle cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celeb-chef Jouni has left the scene pending appeal but the restaurant remains open. The current holding company is presenting a new prix-fixe menu running from \u20ac30 to \u20ac65. Perhaps the new management will push up the calorie count over the ‘lean cuisine’ level?<\/span><\/p>\n
