Hyacinthe — Restaurant in Amiens

We went to for a birthday dinner when visiting the city. The food was quite good, but the waiter forgot to bring the third wine pairing. When my partner brought it up as he paid the waiter just said “oh, yeah I forgot. Do you want a crémant now?”

No. The entire point is to get wines that pair with the actual food, not a throw away glass after the service! He never apologized, tried to take an incorrect portion off the bill, and seemed generally annoyed that we pointed out he forgot!

Had we known we wouldn’t actually receive pairings we would have just ordered a bottle. The entire thing just soured the experience and was a true pity for a...

The food was excellent, it was so different, creative and imaginative. The service was friendly and caring throughout the whole evening. We have been visiting France for more than 25 years and Amiens for more than 10 years, primarily because we adore the culture, way of life and especially the food. The meal we had at Hyacinthe was one of the best we have had in France and by far the best in Amiens. I only wish we were returning again soon to visit the restaurant again soon. A great place to dine and not...

If you are in Amiens and do not eat here you are insane.

This is the future of French food.

Classic technique and approach with a gorgeous kiss of the modern.

As an example I had the ballotine of fowl with demiglace sauce. Good, of course. But the chef added baby brussel sprouts whose bitterness balance the umami

The modern classic fois with eel was made brilliant with a beet root ketchup.

30 seats. 50 euros for 4 courses. I felt almost guilty paying so little.

A genius. A future star....
