Korus

The cuisine at Korus represents Chef Charly Cohen's distinctive culinary vision, where classical French technique serves as the foundation for creative explorations that incorporate South American and Asian influences. Having refined his skills at Sola before taking the helm at Korus, Cohen brings both technical precision and imaginative flair to his cooking, resulting in dishes that surprise and delight while maintaining a clear connection to French gastronomic traditions. The restaurant's commitment to local sourcing and short supply chains ensures that each dish begins with exceptional ingredients at their seasonal peak. This dedication to terroir is evident in preparations like the cocos de Paimpol with white tuna and basil, where the celebrated Breton beans take center stage, or the skate wing with potatoes and capers, which elevates a traditional French preparation through meticulous execution and balanced flavors. The tasting menu format allows Chef Cohen to showcase his range and creativity across multiple courses, building flavors and textures progressively throughout the meal. The Tempo menu (45€) offers an accessible introduction to the kitchen's style with four well-composed courses, while the Opus (79€) and Chorus (97€) menus provide more elaborate culinary journeys with additional courses and more complex preparations. Each menu reflects the chef's philosophy of combining French ingredients with international techniques and flavor profiles, creating dishes that feel both familiar and excitingly new. The kitchen's approach emphasizes small plates and shareable preparations alongside more substantial courses, encouraging a dynamic and interactive dining experience. This style allows for greater variety and the opportunity to taste multiple preparations throughout the meal. The cooking demonstrates impressive technical skill, with precise execution evident in everything from the perfectly cooked proteins to the thoughtfully balanced sauces and accompaniments. Vegetarian and organic options are integrated into the menu, reflecting a modern approach to gastronomy that accommodates diverse dietary preferences without compromising on creativity or flavor. The kitchen works with bio products and creates plant-based dishes that stand on their own merits rather than serving as mere alternatives. Desserts at Korus maintain the same level of creativity and technical excellence as the savory courses, featuring clean, direct flavors that provide a satisfying conclusion to the meal. The bread service deserves special mention, with soft, naturally leavened sourdough that exemplifies the restaurant's attention to every detail of the dining experience. The wine program complements the food perfectly, with a smart selection that includes rare discoveries alongside more familiar labels. The carefully curated cellar reflects the same adventurous spirit as the cuisine, offering pairings that enhance and elevate each course. The availability of wine pairings for 42€ (four courses) provides excellent value for those seeking the complete gastronomic experience.
