Epicure

Epicure holds three Michelin stars and the attention of everyone who takes French cuisine seriously. Eric Fréchon's cooking is rooted in classical technique but restless in its refinement — his macaroni stuffed with black truffle, artichoke, and foie gras has appeared on the menu for over a decade and is still the dish that defines the kitchen.

The dining room looks onto the hotel's private garden, one of the largest private gardens in central Paris, and the room fills with green light on summer afternoons. Book weeks in advance; lunch is slightly easier to secure than dinner.
