The Best Restaurants in Paris, According to a French Food Expert | Eater
"Chef Christophe Pelé helms this two-Michelin-starred restaurant in an elegant 19th-century townhouse just off the Champs-Élysées. The house belongs to Prince Robert of Luxembourg, owner of the Château Haut-Brion outside Bordeaux, and its sumptuous tapestries, oil paintings, crystal chandeliers, moldings, and paneling serve as an unexpected foil for Pelé’s witty, iconoclastic 21st-century French haute cuisine. The tasting menus change regularly, but are composed of dishes like langoustine ceviche with elderflowers and black sesame, elvers (baby eels) with lamb’s brains, grilled red mullet with beef marrow and ginger, and rice pudding with sorrel and apple. Service is amiable, and there’s a notably great wine list. Located in the 8th arrondissement. Know before you go: The lunch menus are a more affordable way to access Pelé’s cooking." - Alexander Lobrano
