Reviews of interest

• Alexander Lobrano (2010) “…while I can’t and won’t comment on whether or not it’s ‘right’ to spend so much money on a single meal, I will say that it was a spectacular evening, that the food was exquisite, and that I still believe that haute cuisine has a rightfully crucial role at the top of the French food chain.”
• François Simon (2010) “Le reste du repas louvoie  entre tradition (le coq en pâte jus périgueux en remarquable pithiviers : 90€) et modernisme néo-chic pauvre (le homard avec ses pommes de terre : 90€).On sent à vrai dire, une cuisine à l’écoute de son temps…”
• Pudlo (2010) “…tout a changé au Plaza-Athénée, sous la bannière d’Alain Ducasse. Tout en apparence, rien au final. La mise en table plus sobre, le service plus simple et le décorum plus zen, les amuse gueule en papier de boucher, l’absence de serviette et de couverts en tout début de repas: cela surprend un peu, d’autant que les prix, l’ambition, le style réel maison sont demeurés les mêmes…”
