Note:
Located in one of the oldest palace of the world from Louis XV 1758. The building transformed into a luxury hotel which visited often by the queen Marie-Antoinette. The crystal chandeliers and seven different marbles decorated restaurant today is in the hands of an haute cuisine Jean-Froncois Piege since 2004. His gracious dishes bring back in time where the gastronomy was the delish of the high society. A surprise and exquisite gourmet experience that I'm sure the queen Marie-Antoinette loved to enjoy.

Recommend: Langoustines, Truffe noire, foie gras, homard bleu, fraise des bois...

Positive:
Luxury location, bar and royal member like service with 38,000 bottles wine choices and excellent wine suggestion. Appetizer is not just a simple kir royal. There are many tastes of your choice in many world finest sparkling wines. The service is fast with elegance, delightful light foot and respectful smile.

Negative:
The difference from 2004: The service quality has slightly decreased. The environment lighting apparently warmer. But too bad, even a table with view still can't really see a view.
