Are These Classic Paris Spots Worth The Hype? - Paris - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Of all the elaborate, historic fine-dining experiences in Paris, La Tour d’Argent offers the best views and the most impressive wine list. Book it, if the budget allows. With historic dining institutions, it’s easy to wonder what you’re really coming for: the classic French food or the myth of the place itself. In the case of La Tour d’Argent, you’re getting dressed up for both—on top of panoramic views, plenty of Christofle tableware to make you feel like royalty, gold-star service from start to finish, and what is said to be the most extensive wine collection (300,000 bottles deep) of any restaurant in the world. After choosing between the Frédéric Delair pressed duck, the house signature, or the fish or vegetable dish du moment, be sure to have servers wheel over the tome of a wine list to browse. If it feels intimidating (and it might), the sommelier will make spot-on recommendations right up to the best digestif to follow your Crêpes Mademoiselle, sweet crêpes prepared and flambéed tableside." - lindsey tramuta
