Stellar

Chef Tifaine Menard's culinary vision at Stellar embraces a philosophy of global exploration while maintaining the technical precision of French cooking. Her menu reads like a passport stamped with flavors from around the world, yet every dish bears the hallmark of careful French technique and attention to detail. The restaurant's commitment to preparing everything in-house—from bread to desserts—ensures consistency and quality across every course. The menu opens with starters that set the tone for the culinary journey ahead. Accras de lieu showcase Caribbean influences with perfectly fried fish fritters, while the tartare prepared gravlax-style demonstrates Nordic inspiration filtered through French sensibility. The Oeuf Tamago brings Japanese precision to the table, offering a delicate interpretation of the classic rolled omelet. These opening courses range from €15 to €22, providing accessible entry points to Stellar's culinary universe. Main courses continue the global exploration with dishes like the cosmic ramen—a playful nod to Japanese comfort food elevated with French technique and quality ingredients. The Saumon Rôti presents beautifully cooked salmon with accompaniments that change seasonally, while the signature Stellar Burger reimagines the American classic with premium ingredients and careful execution. For those seeking something uniquely French, the Camembert rôti à la truffe delivers rich, indulgent flavors with the earthy luxury of truffle. The Mission Apollo, a signature dish, embodies the restaurant's space theme while delivering serious culinary substance. Vegetarian diners will find thoughtful options throughout the menu, not merely afterthoughts but dishes conceived with the same creativity and care as their meat-based counterparts. The kitchen's flexibility and commitment to accommodation ensure that dietary preferences and restrictions are handled with professionalism and creativity. The beverage program deserves equal attention, with a head bartender crafting cocktails that match the kitchen's inventive spirit. The Galaxy Mule has become a signature, offering a cosmic twist on the classic Moscow Mule, while other creations play with flavors, textures, and presentations that complement the space theme. The wine list provides carefully selected bottles that pair well with the diverse menu, and non-alcoholic options receive the same creative attention as their spirited counterparts. Desserts maintain the 100% homemade commitment with offerings like brioche perdue—a French toast interpretation that transforms simple ingredients into something special—and a sculptural pop-corn au chocolat that provides both visual drama and satisfying sweetness. The dessert menu also features an immersive signature creation that we won't spoil here, as discovering it yourself adds to the Stellar experience. For families, the menu des mini astronautes ensures younger diners can participate in the cosmic journey with age-appropriate portions and flavors. Sunday brunches take on an intergalactic character, offering a playful weekend dining option that has developed a loyal following. Special occasion menus, like the €49 festive offering, demonstrate the kitchen's ability to create cohesive, celebratory dining experiences that elevate the everyday menu to new heights.
