A whitewashed townhouse is the setting for Karim Khouani’s basement restaurant, where paintings add a splash of colour to the chic, intimate room. Karim hails from Marseille, with an Italian mother and a Moroccan father, so while his technically adept, flavour-packed cooking has a French base, you might notice these influences too. The delightful dishes could include langoustine tartare with lavender cream, clams and caviar or goat’s cheese sorbet with olive oil, bergamot and bee pollen – and, as he is also a talented pâtissier, the stunning duck fat and pink praline brioche is a real standout.
