The memory of our traditions ...
In This winter, the month of January in order not to quote him, that the appeal of the old village of Mougins will be felt at that point this weekend we have succumbed to the temptation of the new table Fétisson Denis (from the Cheval Blanc in Courchevel where it already owns **), the chef, and owner with his wife Muriel, former fire Follet flying at the time, Pavillon Jean-Marie Bigard (the comic). Since 2009, a clean sweep of the fire, and after nine months of work, welcome to a whole new style, after all, playing much more refined map of the atmosphere and aesthetics! The welcome, always welcome me would you, will in the "neat", but certainly not heavy nor obsequious with Stephane and Chris Masters will be the main works indoors! As soon as we cross the threshold, the "counter" pastries we "will challenge" the twinkling of an eye with its languorous croissants, pain au chocolate, raisin bread, just and harmonious golden, her cookies marshmallows on a stick, buttons and other fruit pastes, designed by Pascal Giry, pastry chef from home in Lourmarin Reine Sammut. Here, everything is hushed, while "immersed" in the softness and delicacy of neutral tones, speckled velvet banquettes, chairs and striped gray brown, wall murals "orchideen" diffusing a soft light, and background music rather "whispered" ... Everything was well thought out for you "win" yes you "hypnotize" No! Even the plates have been the subject of special care, particularly at the level of stylized plates signed Marion BURKLE for Denis Fétisson!
The taste aspect is discovered as a gem of a Hyper card well designed (for some it would appear a bit heavy)! The appetizers, the "lift curtain "so to speak, looks without drums or trumpets over an egg with truffle emulsion," golden "to heart! Subtle and devastating! A long hesitation later, here we decided for a foie gras seared pepper Sarawak anchoïade fine ravioli with foie gras, cream of pea and truffle foam, absolutely divine, simply "blown", revealing undeniable flavor. A sweetbreads glazed with Marsala and lemon confit, and seductive lady-killer (!) And a Roquefort soufflé, sweet candied pears, thyme, lemon, baby spinach, fresh shallots in Estournel, powerful indeed, playing at the same time the originality and sweetness! The St. Peter Needles cooked on the grill, roast potatoes, spring onions and salsify, beetroot sauce cherry juice will play our favorite map, that of "simple but good!
The pigeon marinated in cassis, meanwhile, pumpkin cooked in salted butter, legs confit with wild mushrooms, we will persuade the developer and budding genius of this outstanding leader! The veal shank cooked in stew, crusty pastry, carrots, broth just creamed, they will unveil a more alluring to the eye as that
mouth! If he had been escorted by a Clos du Marquis St. Julien 2001 (89/100 to Parker), perhaps we would have had a different approach! Though! Instant Pascal Giry speak with the relevance expected but I frankly have, for me, pastries preferred more "conventional" counter. The traditional soufflé, lemon green, crispy flakes with green tea, quince confit pumpkin pie, orange marmalade, apple sorbet green, a bit skinny, or chocolate cocoa flower tube of caramel, gold ingot with fine gold, black ice ball, will carry much more an exercise in style! Thus, our preference goes to the flash while chocolate, vanilla and yarrow with white chocolate dome works, in our view, a more generous and tasty looking, yet refined!
