Summary: A welcoming bistro with natural wines.
Le Clin d'Oeil is a chic bistro tucked behind the bustling Place Masséna, where the tables are always full. The secret to its success lies in the warm welcome from Jessica Barbotto and her extensive knowledge of natural wines from around the world. The kitchen, led by Julien Rives, presents thoughtfully prepared dishes with precise cooking techniques and harmonious flavors. Mediterranean products are carefully chosen, featuring dishes like low-temperature cooked organic eggs with pumpkin puree, braised chestnuts, guanciale, and a red wine sauce; and Pierlas farm chicken served two ways with a celeriac mousseline, chanterelles, baby potatoes, and rosemary jus. The meal ends with a nod to the restaurant's name – a reimagined lemon tart with Menton lemon cream, lemon sorbet, buckwheat sablé, and a meringue leaf. The restaurant offers an enticing lunch menu with three courses and a tasting menu with four courses.
