This is not the first time that chef Florian Le Bouhec has expanded his activities on Geneva soil. After an attempt alongside Marc Popper at the <\/span>Bombar<\/a> in 2019, the instigator of <\/span>Bologna<\/a> is back for a second venture. Together with talented young chef Mathias Fr\u00e9r\u00e9, he aims to revive the Rue du Vieux Billard institution. A well-considered gamble for the creator of celery risotto, pan-fried foie gras, black truffles and jus court, who continues his gastronomic journey with as much conviction as passion. Without ever sacrificing the good for the beautiful, and while retaining a noble and valiant notion of service, Florian Le Bouhec rolls up the sleeves of his kitchen jacket and sets out to conquer a slightly more nocturnal but still devilishly gourmet vision of gastronomy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Elaborate simplicity<\/h2>\n\n

While adding a touch of freshness, the new Bleu Nuit<\/a> duo made sure to maintain the sobriety of the premises. The kitchen is now partially open, allowing diners a glimpse of the pass. It’s a trendy concept, adopted by many restaurateurs, which gives a clear view of the kitchen. Concealed behind a long bar, a string of fridges hold the precious bottles which, once opened, promote a convivial atmosphere around a good glass while enjoying gourmet and elaborate dishes. At Bleu Nuit, the culinary spirit is one of relaxed sharing. Simplicity takes precedence over complexity. But be warned: we’re talking about simplicity that’s elaborate, well thought-out and devilishly sharp, the kind that goes straight to the heart without any detours. <\/p>\n\n

Behind his counter, chef Mathias Fr\u00e9r\u00e9 can hardly hide his smile. His jovial expression says a lot about the mood in the restaurant. In the dining room, Marion Le Pen delivers attentive, thoughtful and conscientious service. The wine list is under development, but already boasts a fine selection of bottles. With peas, ricotta, basil and crunchy fried purple artichokes, the dishes follow one another at a soothing, calming pace. A fine start to the meal, followed by smoked eggplant, sardines and tahini. An appealing vegetal sequence precedes a white tuna escorted by broad beans and an egg yolk confit with soy. A simple but well-executed dish. <\/p>\n\n

From the outset, Mathias Fr\u00e9r\u00e9 and Florian Le Bouhec succeeded in their challenge: to undertake, create and unite. To unite around gastronomy, wine, in a word, life. With this new address, the tandem joins the ranks of young people eager for culinary and wine experiences on the bangs of Geneva’s long-standing, all-powerful institutions, dominated by a classicism from another era. How fortunate to be able to experience and perceive the changes that are taking place – always with discretion and humility – in Geneva right now.
