Le Gabriel - La Réserve Paris

Just a well-heeled step from the Champs-Élysées, this restaurant is set in the swish, swanky La Réserve, a 19C Napoleon III-style mansion refurbished by renowned interior designer, Jacques Garcia. The dining room is clad in magnificent materials, such as Spanish gilt leather and Versailles parquet flooring. Jérôme Banctel affirms his distinctive culinary personality with two tasting menus: "Virée", a tribute to his native Brittany, and "Périple", an invitation to travel the world – taking in Japan, as well as Turkey, where the chef discovered the incomparable textures produced by cooking in limewater; there is also a game menu in season and an à la carte lineup at lunchtime. This high-flying score gives rise to a vast range of sensations and flavours – from tart and sweet and sour to spicy and briny. The chef’s talent as a cosmopolitan alchemist enables him to draw everything together harmoniously. The full-bodied, concentrated sauces embody his high-flying culinary art in such a way that it appears disarmingly effortless. A quintessential fine dining experience in a setting with a sense of occasion.

Le Petit Nice

Descended from a family of artists, Gérald Passédat was practically born in his restaurant a few metres from the sea, which "nourishes and inspires [him]". The Mediterranean, its fish and shellfish are the backbone of his culinary identity. The chef crafts precise and pared-back seafood-forward cuisine that is personal to him; absolute freshness and the use of ingredients in their entirety are key. Highlights from the menu include the yellowtail and black sea bream duo, raw and smoked in-house, accompanied by cauliflower, Oscietra caviar and bottarga, and the remarkable red mullet prepared in a variety of ways: cooked au naturel, matured and raw, or charcuterie-style, with a star anise consommé. Many of the robust and carefully crafted sauces and broths are made using heads, livers and cooking juices. The "Ma Bouille Abaisse" set menu unfolds in a fascinating sequence of flavours. Over 65 species, caught with longlines and with consideration for the marine ecosystem, are featured over the course of the seasons. The breathtaking view of the Mediterranean adds to the feeling of abundance. The attentive yet discreet service is pitch perfect.

Maison Lameloise

It's impossible to sum up in just a few lines the story of this institution, whose star-studded career begun back in… 1926! Yet, Lameloise, whose interior features a string of warm, cosy dining rooms, each of which is appointed individually, is far from nostalgic. Éric Pras, former sous-chef to Jacques Lameloise, became head chef in 2009 when his mentor retired; as Éric puts it: "Tradition is the future." Faithful to the venue’s founding spirit, as inspired as he is meticulous, Pras pays homage to Burgundy's terroir (snails, Bresse poultry, Charolais beef, Morvan hazelnut cazette) whilst keeping pace with his era and today’s tastes. They serve a fine selection of wines, especially by the glass.

Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles

In this nature-inspired interior designed by architect Patrick Bouchain, the glass-paned dining areas are arranged around an imposing century-old oak tree. In this setting, César carries on the family tradition with aplomb, with cuisine that bears the Troisgros hallmark more indelibly than ever. The dishes are original, punctuated with flashes of vegetable-based ingenuity and subtle hints of acidity and bitterness. Beautifully elevated ingredients; refined and adventurous dishes; a permaculture kitchen garden and lake – an exceptional restaurant in a setting that will take your breath away.

Assiette Champenoise

You might say that Arnaud Lallement grew up at Assiette Champenoise, which was originally opened by his parents. Trained by the best in the business (Roger Vergé, Michel Guérard, Alain Chapel), he cooks high-calibre cuisine – inspired by the classics, generous and above all very tasty – and lets his Breton roots (on his mother's side) shine through. A larger-than-life presence on the restaurant floor, and supported by a warm and dedicated team, Lallement loves to engage with guests and treat them to simply good food. The dishes are accessible and enhanced by memorable sauces; ingredients are treated with loving care, as in the blue lobster dubbed "a tribute to my dad", and the farm-reared Onjon squab. A fabulous culinary experience.

Épicure

Le Bristol is the quintessence of luxury, from its spa suites and superb formal garden to its rooftop pool and dining area with Louis XVI furnishings, mirrors, and tall French windows looking out onto the greenery. In the kitchen of the flagship restaurant, Arnaud Faye errs towards minimalism with his light and refined preparations – a purity of flavours that does not preclude generosity in the dishes. The ingredients are of course excellent, the cooking techniques and temperatures flawless; the bread is made on the premises from heirloom wheat varieties, the sauces are light yet highly concentrated, and let's not forget the art-directed plating. The epitome of style!
