Le Cinq

Modern Cuisine · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

Unadulterated style and opulence – lofty columns, ornate mouldings and tall bouquets of flowers, all bathed in soft light pouring in from the interior garden… Here, in one of the most prestigious Parisian palaces, chef Christian Le Squer commands respect by working his magic year after year. His timeless cuisine, always showcasing outstanding produce, unveils his virtuoso technique and phenomenal delicacy. Hailing from Morbihan, he never fails to pay tribute to his native Brittany, brilliantly celebrating this terroir and its seafood, eg lait ribot (Breton buttermilk) is paired with caviar and

Pierre Gagnaire

Creative · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

In an interior dominated by a masterful charcoal work, an "urban cave painting" depicting a bestiary by the artist Adel Abdessemed, Pierre Gagnaire continues to finetune France’s culinary scene with his adventurous, wholehearted and excessive signature cuisine. This fan of jazz and contemporary art never rests on his laurels. Gagnaire's restaurant, which has had three stars since 1996, reflects his character: modern, understated and subtly sophisticated, all of which is in perfect harmony with the service. The poetic dishes are constantly reinvented, like small "satellite" portions sent into o

L'Orangerie

Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

This restaurant is established in this glazed extension in the courtyard of the George V hotel, graced by an amazing hanging porcelain sculpture of thousands of bougainvillea petals. It provides the perfect foil to the chef’s healthy universe which zooms in on vegetables as well as dairy produce and seafood, as he voluntarily eschews meat. The ingredients are superb, the cooking is surgically precise, as is the balance struck between the flavours. As for the remarkably light sauces, they subtly combine maritime and vegetable notes and manage to bring an element of surprise to each dish, while

Imperial Treasure

Chinese · ★ Michelin

€€€€

A stone’s throw from the emblematic Champs Elysées, this establishment is just the ticket to try China’s imperial cuisine: sharing, lavish ingredients and time-honoured, even ancestral, recipes. Beneath the watchful eye of a head chef assisted by a kitchen brigade, as talented as they are numerous, each dish becomes a tribute to tradition: Peking duck exquisitely carved by your tableside, dim sum to die for, or chicken in Chinese yellow wine steeped in suave, subtle flavours. In a setting with a sense of occasion, each diner is pampered by a zealous front-of-house team, who also plays the role

Le Taillevent

Classic Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

This iconic establishment dating back to 1946 is the epitome of French classicism. Run by the Gardinier family (Les Crayères in Reims), Taillevent is nothing short of an institution. Here in the former private mansion of the Duke of Morny (19C), you are cocooned from the world outside. Chef Giuliano Sperandio is in charge of the kitchen. Tradition is honoured with some elements being prepared tableside, such as the meat or fish trolley served in two courses (veal chop, Pornic pigeon, the catch from small-boat fishing etc) or the classic crêpes Suzette, flambéed first with Grand Marnier and the

L'Oiseau Blanc

Creative · ★★ Michelin

This is the "contemporary French fine dining" restaurant at The Peninsula, a luxury hotel located near the Arc de Triomphe. It is named after the plane in which Nungesser and Coli attempted the first North Atlantic crossing in 1927, and a life-size replica of the plane is affixed to the top of the hotel, as if poised to take to the skies before your very eyes. A fine tribute to the two aviation pioneers, as well as to the sky over Paris! Perched above the rooftops and encased in glass, the restaurant feels like it is in flight over the capital, while the terrace offers a fantastic view of the

A magnificent Baccarat chandelier, immaculate white decor and delicate floral arrangements all contribute to the chic yet relaxed decor designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon… Guests are left in no doubt that this is part of the exclusive Four Seasons George V hotel! At Le George, Simone Zanoni has definitely made his culinary mark here with his Italian-inspired dishes. This light and airy cuisine is enchanting; Zanoni's dishes are served in small portions, with particular attention paid to the flavours and cooking methods of the Mediterranean. Enjoy your meal either indoors or in the high-ceilinged c

In a restaurant whose bare white walls evoke the unwritten pages of a book, Japanese chef Ryuji Teshima, aka Teshi, unveils his personal and contemporary take on Gallic fare, based on top-notch produce: shellfish and fish from Normandy and Brittany, poultry from the Perche, aged wagyu beef. The “surprise” menu features a blend of colour and flavours that work like a dream in the mouth, enhanced by precision cooking and the occasional use of a binchotan barbecue to add a smoky note. On-the-ball service.
