XXL

After 25 years of making history, the iconic XL has changed hands. Olivier da Costa dreamt that he had bought the restaurant and didn't hesitate to bring the fantasy to life. The name might be a bit misleading. Don't expect these dishes to be over the top, just pure comfort. The X that Olivier adds to the XL simply serves as a complement to the name, as if to say that the XL is still alive, but not quite like before, although some iconic dishes continue to exist here, now with the chef's touch. We're talking, of course, about the soufflés that have been the talk of the town for so many years. But here, Olivier is betting on monkfish rump, which is nothing more than a tasty monkfish loin with beurre blanc and pico de galo, and a lobster steak, very much like the classic bitoque, but with a grilled lobster in butter instead of meat. To accompany all this, Olivier claims to have "the" wine list, with 190 references from different countries and regions.
