 Alain Ducasse was a precursor when he opened Spoon some years ago. He understood his clientele liked his high gastronomy but they also needed an alternative for a simpler meal. Modern and dynamic is the word for Spoon, from the name, the service, the look of the menu, the refreshed décor (with the wavy wall of pearls) and the clientele. Ducasse's travels have inspired him to create a menu with dishes and flavors from all over the world, and in some cases you can indicate the sauce or condiments of your choice. Chef Stéphane Colé does a great job transforming this international vision of the cuisine into what appears on your plate. Savors, colors, tastes and spices to be manipulated with great care are simply pleasures for your eyes first and your palate second. They are the signature of a well-trained chef. If you don't choose the surprise "C'xy" menu---which we recommend---you will have to choose between the soups (pumpkin with paprika and fromage blanc), salads (romaine lettuce), steamed fare or pasta for appetizers. Then you can order the Spoon moment for the table, which was a scallops ceviche with wasabi pearl the day we went. After, continue with the tuna à la plancha or the grilled squid for the products of the sea. If you prefer the legged products, try the roasted duck perfumed with five flavors on a bed of raw turnips or the grilled veal breast with creamy polenta and an orange sauce. For the sweet ending, you must try the chocolate pizza, the Italian coffee mug or the tagada strawberry ice cream. The service is done by a professional staff. In regards to the dining experience, we have to say that the prices are reasonable.
