Considered “one of the most anticipated new French restaurants for the 2024 school year” by Gault et Millau, Fario has already received a distinction from this famous gastronomic guide, which awarded it a score of 13 and reward of two hatsplacing it directly among the best restaurants in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
The Gault et Millau opinion
Two “Chef’s Table” hats – 13/20
“Tribute to brown trout at Kevin de Porre, who left for the other side of the country after treating us to his Contraste rue d’Anjou, then associated with his accomplice Erwan Ledru. In the cherry capital, in the heart of Vallespir , he now sails solo, as close as possible to nature and a favorable environment, thus returning to the region of his childhood A champion’s know-how (he notably worked at Shangri-La during the Labbé period, at the Plaza and at. Kei), a beautiful science of local product: the road to the Pyrenees is wide open for Kevin, and the first forkfuls are very promising.”
