"Printemps, the fancy department store from Paris that landed in Fidi, is all about lavish, curated experiences. That extends not only to its selection of hard-to-find beauty products and designer clothing items, but also to food and beverage offerings — all overseen by James Beard-winning chef Gregory Gourdet, known for his restaurant Kann, in Portland, Oregon. The layout at Printemps in general isn’t the most user-friendly, but the space is gorgeous, and at various nooks, you’ll find a bakery, a Champagne bar, and now, its flagship full-service restaurant Maison Passerelle (which has its own street-level entrance). Under Gourdet, in partnership with Kent Hospitality, this restaurant is more interesting than it needed to be. A menu that takes Caribbean food and fine dining to new heights through dishes like cane syrup-glazed duck, best ordered with a side of green plantains. Leave room for pastry chef Rachel Green’s desserts." - Emma Orlow
