220BPM par Jeremy GALVAN

An amazing experience, sometimes destabilizing, but that's what we were looking for. Great food and service. We highly recommend!

We visited 220 BPM in June, with high expectations and a genuine curiosity for what was marketed as an immersive, boundary-pushing culinary journey. The experience began with promise—the mysterious car pickup was a novel touch, and the secluded forest location was undeniably beautiful. The staircase leading into the restaurant was stunning, architectural, and filled us with anticipation. Unfortunately, from that point on, things quickly took a turn. The atmosphere inside the restaurant—despite its artistic intention—felt intensely disorienting and claustrophobic. Rather than drawing us into a sensory journey, it pushed us into a space of anxiety and discomfort. The lighting, the pacing, and the overall ambiance felt more like a performance imposed on the diner rather than something to be enjoyed or emotionally connected with. As for the food—while we understand the desire to challenge conventional dining expectations, the execution was not only overwhelming but, at times, nauseating. Several dishes were so visually confronting (one resembling a heart freshly pulled from a carcass) that it was difficult to engage with them as food. While some diners may find such theatricality exciting, we felt that there was a serious lack of communication or warning about how far this experience would go in testing personal comfort zones. There was no room to opt out or soften the blow—only to endure. We went in open-minded, excited for an evening of surprise and creativity, but left feeling disappointed and drained. For a concept that asks so much of its guests—emotionally, physically, and financially—we expected a more thoughtful balance between art and hospitality. At €450+ per person, we hoped for something unforgettable in the best way, not the worst. To be clear: the intentions may be noble, and the craftsmanship in certain elements (architecture, logistics, some plating) is impressive. But for us, the overall experience was alienating rather than inspiring. This is not a meal—it is a psychological gauntlet. And one that we feel should come with much clearer expectations

(Translated by Google) An experience, a journey outside of time! A delightful recipe of the unexpected, of tastings, and of orchestration that immerses us in the world of Chef Jeremy Galvan. Forget everything you've ever experienced in a restaurant and let yourself be swept away by the magic of his culinary art and his entire team! We were amazed, surprised, and captivated by this unforgettable experience. Bravo to the entire 220 BPM team! (Original) Une expérience, un voyage hors du temps!

(Translated by Google) Dining at 220bpb is an experience that goes far beyond the realm of fine dining. What strikes you first is the theatricality of the whole experience: a precise, poetic, and never gratuitous presentation. Far from being artifice, it truly serves the purpose and highlights the dishes, refocusing us on what truly matters: the emotions that the flavors evoke. Each scene, each gesture, each transition is designed to amplify the ability of taste to touch something deeply personal. Another highlight of the experience is the remarkable work of the sommelier. Her pairings are exceptionally precise; she doesn't simply accompany the dishes, she extends them, elevates them, and adds nuance. Her choices create a perfect, almost uncanny harmony that elevates every bite. And then there is Jérémy Galvan. His presence, his generosity, and his approachability leave a profound impression. He doesn't just cook; he shares his passion. As he so aptly puts it, “Once served, the dishes no longer belong to me; they belong to the person who tastes them.” And it shows. For him, each creation is an invitation to delve into personal, unique, almost buried emotions. Jérémy is a conduit for emotions, and that's what makes the experience so singular and memorable. Finally, it's impossible not to commend the entire team: attentive, delicate, and perfectly synchronized. A team that carries the experience as much as the cuisine itself. Bravo and thank you to all. A rare, sincere, and profoundly human evening. An experience to be had at least once. (Original) Dîner chez 220bpb est une expérience qui dépasse largement le cadre du gastronomique. Ce qui frappe d’abord, c’est la théâtralité de l’ensemble : une mise en scène précise, poétique, jamais gratuite. Loin d’être un artifice, elle sert véritablement le propos et met en lumière les plats en nous recentrant sur l’essentiel : les émotions que les saveurs provoquent. Chaque scène, chaque geste, chaque transition est pensée pour amplifier la capacité du goût à toucher quelque chose d’intime. Un autre moment fort de l’expérience : le travail remarquable de la sommelière. Ses accords sont d’une justesse rare ; elle ne se contente pas d’accompagner les assiettes, elle les prolonge, les élève, les nuance. Ses choix créent une harmonie parfaite, presque troublante, qui sublime chaque bouchée. Et puis, il y a Jérémy Galvan. Sa présence, sa générosité, son accessibilité marquent profondément. Il ne se contente pas de cuisiner : il transmet. Comme il le dit si bien, “les plats ne m’appartiennent plus une fois servis ; ils appartiennent à celui qui les déguste”. Et cela se ressent. Chez lui, chaque création est une invitation à aller chercher en soi des émotions personnelles, uniques, presque enfouies. Jérémy est un passeur d’émotions, et c’est ce qui rend l’expérience aussi singulière que mémorable. Enfin, impossible de ne pas saluer le travail de toute l’équipe : attentive, délicate, parfaitement synchronisée. Une équipe qui porte l’expérience autant que la cuisine elle-même. Bravo et merci à tous. Une soirée rare, sincère et profondément humaine. Une expérience à vivre au moins une fois.
