Le Millénaire – Reims – France Visit Review: 13.4
-
- Laurent et Thibault Laplaige
Should we stay on the first impression? Eternal insoluble debate. If I had been content with this, it would be the big depression.
A dull, dreary setting, as desperate as the Lorraine on a foggy winter morning by minus 7 degrees. I admit that I can not stand these settings “purified”, pale, deadly sad that invade the chic restaurants. I do not ask for Mondrian, but stop at morgue lighting. Then, no luck, the appetizer was a small piece of terrine invaded by a big piece not hard chopped.
After that? Well, I do not know anymore! No memory. I know it deserved his star nicely but no reminiscence.
You will tell me that I should not chronicle a restaurant that I can not trace the menu. But despite everything, “Veni, vidi, vici“, I came, I ate, I paid; and leaving a memory is part of the moral contract of a high-end restaurant.
