100/200 Kitchen is located in an old industrial building along the water. You must ring and go to the third floor. In case you’re bored waiting for the elevator, there is an arcade game console with Gauntlet and many vintage games !
The restaurant is a wide square toon of industrial decor, all painted in black, with the kitchen in the middle. They have high chairs all around the cooking square and also tables with regular chairs on the sides. Clearly the comfort of the guest is their priority as I got a special « normal chair in wood with four feet and no arms ». Perfect and thank you !!!
The menu is pre ordered as you must buy a « ticket » when you reserve. This is absolutely normal to me. Just like for a concert or theater, you wanna go, you buy it. Logic !!! (If you don’t go, the ticket is lost. If you have to change the date, you book another day and the ticket remains valid. Makes sense !).
First you are taken the the station of Fabian who will show some ingredients of the meal to come (probably to see who’s affraid of things like bone marrow, snails etc) and makes you a wonderful amuse bouche filled with caviar and to wash down with tomato water.
The menu was amazing. I won’t give you all the details but it included a selection of season vegetables in La to fermentation with a sort of « Bellota » made of local goat meat, a savoury eclair of bone marrow and caviar, three preparations around snails, a trilogy of beef including tongue, heart and abats, cheese and raw mushroom etc… A marvellous journey through taste, textures and flavours.
The wine selection included many surprises. An orange sekt from Riesling ! A beautiful poulsard from Jura. An orange wine from Provence based on Cassis, Clairette and Grenache Blanc. Sophie knows her wines ! ????????????????
We felt right at the Heart of modern gastronomy. This restaurant is everything you are hoping for in the 20’s. Novelties, products, not a “chi chi” atmosphere, modern wines, rock music, great food. Fantastic.
The sunset on the water with the shadows of industrial cranes was an extra delight. Bravo. Bravi. Brava !
