What Surprised MICHELIN Inspectors This Year

"On discreet Rue de Bassano between the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Marceau, this restaurant focuses on Shanghainese cuisine while also offering Sichuan, Cantonese, and Beijing specialties, but my most surprising moment was the Peking duck: a whole bird of about 1.3 kg blending Ireland’s Silver Hill (“the Wagyu of duck”) with a Chinese breed raised in Ireland. Carved tableside with finesse, the skin was caramelized and perfectly crispy; the breasts sliced thin revealed tender meat, fragrant fat, and a pleasing contrast of textures, and the remainder was wok-fried with salt and pepper — a phenomenal tasting that felt like a moment out of time." - The MICHELIN Guide
