In the old La Table de Joël Robuchon location, Les Tablettes reopens with a new chef (Jean-Louis Nomicos) and a pop attitude.
Eric Fréchon of the Bristol is the consulting chef of this contemporary, chic brasserie. Book a table on the terrace when weather permits. Open every day, all day.
Chef Frederic Verdon (ex-Ducasse) runs the kitchen at this rooftop address just off the Champs-Elysées. Sleek and chic.
Housed in in the new Shangri-La hotel, this addition to Paris’ haute dining scene set critics abuzz.
The man behind the curtain in this white-on-white, Kubrick-esque space in the new Mandarin Oriental is molecular master Thierry Marx.
Perched high in the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant was taken over by Ducasse, and his chef Pascal Féraud offers a menu of classics, befitting of the location (foie gras in many forms, escargots, tournedos de boeuf, Bresse chicken, savarin a l’Armagnac). One Michelin star.
Chef Laurent Delarbre has run the kitchen of this landmark since 2010, bringing modern sensibility to the menu while maintaining much of the restaurant’s classic repertoire, including the famous numbered ducklings.
The neo-classical pavillion that houses Ledoyen is owned by the city of Paris, which seems to make sense given that this is one of the city’s oldest and most grand restaurants.
If the walls at Lasserre could talk, they would tell stories about white doves, Marc Chagall, ortolan, and Audrey Hepburn, stories of glitterati and résistants taking their truffled macaroni under the retractable roof.
Joël Robuchon’s empire expands again with the opening of another Atelier, this time on the Champs Elysées. This one is bigger than the left bank outpost, with an actual dining room in addition to the trademark counter seating.
This historic spot is known for oysters and grand platters of fruits de mer, as well as its classified, Louis Majorelle – designed art deco toilettes.
