Star within a luxurious boutique hotel
The great thing here is that you’re in a very high end hôtel. The service is palace and high end hotel is always a notch higher than the average. I have an anecdote to demonstrate the dedication. We made a mistake when ordering. It was a small confusion, but it was on our end. At one point the dish arrives and my colleague realized it. They changed the dish. Without hesitation, without any discussion. Honestly, I would not have done it. But they did.
The High end Michelin star restaurant have always a different atmosphere. It’s also always more cosmopolite. Their challenge (especially the one star, may be less the 2 and 3), is that they have to please every palates… An American palates is not like a Japanese, nor European, Asian, etc.. (I’ll explain one day). it’s a daunting task.
The chef manages to ride this fine line and delivers a pleasing and refine cuisine.
The crowd was definitely international and business. You can definitely have a casual lunch after a Marais visit outside, or a business meal or a romantic dinner in the library.
Dress code/mood: smart international
My experience: A great lunch where I was well taken care of and really isolated from the heavy crowd just a few meters away
Update 2022:
Went back one year and less than month after.
As you can see the menu completely changed, both for lunch and à la carte (the pictures, menu and videos are directly online because for some reasons can not be added to this review).
The difference with another 5 stars hotel one star restaurant is that it’s a “boutique “ hotel, so the restaurant has 8 tables, so it’s 16 clients maximum.
The service is the service of a 5 stars hotel.
The restaurant does deserve its star.
