The Best Hotel Restaurants and Bars in Paris | Eater
"Chef Arnaud Donckele, coming off three stars at La Vague d’Or in Saint-Tropez, brings the same creative sensibility, complexity, and an obsession with sauces — which are described as the starting point for developing each dish — to an intimate 26-seat dining room at Cheval Blanc Paris; plated desserts are handled by Maxime Frédéric, whose pastry talents earned him a role creating exclusive desserts for the Louis Vuitton café across the street. With three stars and so few covers, there is typically at least a year’s wait for a table (the maître d’hôtel tries to prioritize hotel guests when possible), and the duo also oversee the property's Japanese restaurant and its upscale brasserie, which both offer similarly spectacular Seine-side views." - Lindsey Tramuta
