Best time ever…food was awesome, waiters awesome and funny
I’ve been eight or nine times over the years, originally from a review by the late Peter Mayle. Only the true snobs like A.A. Gill and an estate agent I dated from Mayfair give it bad reviews. I’ve never had a bad meal there. And it’s always lively and fun. The foie gras is better than the above reviews say. It’s melt-in-the-mouth served with grilled baguette. The roast chicken is $100+ dollars and worth every goose oil laced bite. As are the addictive matchstick fries and potatoes Anna. The scallops are the best I’ve ever had. As is the veal chop. Avoid the non descript salad. Find a rare Provençal wine. The wine book has more pages than War and Peace, but fun to leaf through. Bargains are rare, but you will find one or two exceptions if you avoid the Burgundies. Get dessert anywhere else. And you will love it!
Had the chicken. Escargot, asparagus, pomme frites and wild strawberries w a friend and without exaggeration rank it among the top five meals of my lifetime.
Check in to the Ritz, have them make the reso.
We’ve gone to the restaurant twice, both time outstanding. Our Concierge took care of it weeks before we travelled, that seems to be the way to go – here is my writeup with lots of pictures of the meal, which while expensive is really outstanding! –
