True value doesn’t need the test of time

The recently reopened Arakel, located at Eaux-Vives, can thank their young Chef, Quentin Philippe (only 28 years old), for bringing them Gault&Millau’s Discovery of the Year award, along with a solid 15-point ranking. Featuring a wine bar and an open kitchen, Arakel offers evolving seasonal cuisine that’s best enjoyed through two prix-fixe “Immersion” menus of four to six courses. The cherry on top? The iconic Chef’s Table, which gets you front row seats for all the action. But Michelin took things even further by giving Arakel a star… along with F.P. Journe Le Restaurant, which is Chef Dominique Gauthier’s new table. The ex-chef from Chat Botté opened this new locale in collaboration with the master watchmaker to revive the heritage arcade (formerly the historic Bavaria brasserie) on Rue du Rhône.
