Auguste

Description

Summary: A chic space with a marine-inspired design and modern French cuisine.

Nestled in the heart of a bustling city, Auguste stands as a culinary haven for food aficionados. The restaurant's walls ripple with designs that evoke the serene depths of the ocean or the intricate patterns of circuit boards, a nod to the maritime theme that is tastefully accentuated by wood and deep indigo hues. While not strictly a coastal affair, there is an unmistakable maritime influence that permeates the establishment, setting the stage for a menu that boasts of bourgeois cuisine crafted with exceptional products and skill. Patrons flock to Auguste for the assurance of a dining experience that is harmonious and impeccable from start to finish. The beautifully presented dishes are a source of pride for the local terroir, with standout offerings such as the black pearl oysters in sea water jelly with horseradish foam and comice pears, turbot with caviar and combava broth accompanied by young turnips and wheat spike asparagus, roasted blue lobster with colorful carrots and almonds, and the crispy sweetbread with chanterelles, dried apricots, and Jura wine. The restaurant, a compact yet elegant contemporary interior that seats a modest thirty, exudes a tranquil sophistication. It's a place where judiciously modern cuisine is savored, such as the saddle of veal with a medley of sweet and sour carrots or turbot seasoned with wild herbs and artichokes in a pepper sauce. The allure of Auguste's menu lies in its variety and the quality of its ingredients, all sourced from the market, with a commitment to serving only non-endangered fish species. The wine selection is designed to intrigue without being extravagant, offering a chance to explore new flavors without splurging. This dedication to quality and sustainability is what makes Auguste a treasure trove for contemporary French culinary exploration, all wrapped up in a low-lit, artfully designed dining room that invites guests to indulge in a memorable gastronomic journey.
