Les Agitateurs, Keisuke Matsushima, Flaveur, JAN and the Bar de La Dégustation, all these restaurants in Nice are or have been starred, except the last one. The business is run by Armand Crespo, with Colombian chef Carlos Gomez in the kitchen. Those are the “restaurants not to be missed” of Nice according to the Instagram publication of the gastronomic guide Gault & Millau.
In this small selection, the Bar de La Dégustation calls out. Placed rue de la Préfecture, the establishment has never been decorated by the Michelin guide. For Adélie Vernhes, of the Gault & Millau guide, its enhancement is not surprising, “the guide does not take Michelin stars into account, since it has its own restaurant rating and appreciation system.” The selection was made on several points, “the plate, the producers, the chef and his approach”, she explains. Moreover, “La Dégust'” is mentioned in the 109a book published by Gault & Millau, which promotes talented young chefs.
The restaurateur, who owns four other establishments, is also not surprised to appear in this Instagram post. “I have no pretensions but we have already been mentioned in several articles alongside starred restaurantshe recalls. Moreover, we do not have the ambition to have a star in the Michelin guide because we are a bit of free electrons”.
The restorer remarks: “The chef of the Bar de La Dégustation could have their place in a starred restaurant.”
