It's my mom's birthday, and we are in Paris, so we decided to try a Michelin ***. We did the lunch tasting menu. I'm not into fine dining, but Epicure did make me think twice.

Food - "Exquisite" is the word. Every dish looks like a beautiful abstract painting. Multiple layers of flavors unfold into a harmony when tasting each course. Admittedly, there were 1-2 courses that we didn't enjoy as much, but the others were almost heavenly.

Service - Out of the world. During the three hours, the staff team took the best care of us. Warm welcome upon entrance, gently serving and introducing each course, recommending wines, answering my many questions on ingredients, changing utensils between each course, cleaning and tidying up the table every other ~15mins... In short, they make you feel like you are the most important person during that 3h. Sounds cliche, but who doesn't want to be treated like a king/queen?

Idea - Jewel in the crown. Right off the bat, I figured the tasting menu was trying to tell a story, about walking by the seaside, tasting the treasures of sea, earth, and sky. It was beautiful.

It was expensive and extravagant, we might not do it again for a while. But it was a meal that we might remember for a while.

To even say it was a fantastic dinner would not even begin to explain this place.  It has the best service from the time you sit down to the time they call you a taxi.  From the wine pairings to the caviar, I have never had a better dinner.  The tasting menu is a walk-through culinary wonderland. I highly recommend and hope to go back when visiting Paris again.

After visiting three other Michelin starred restaurants in Paris i can most certainly say that Epicure is my nr 1. Every single dish was great and the service was beyond friendly and relaxed. The restaurant itself is beautiful as well. Wonderful expierience!

One of my favourite restaurants in the world with a great captaincy by Mr. Fréchon. The service is exquisite and delivers a personalized experience with spot on recommendations and explanations. The food is outstanding with a great balance of innovation, creativity and tradition. A great respect for the ingredients in their cooking techniques, combinations and presentation.

To breakup our run of Michelin dinners, we decided on a lunch that offered the same full dinner menu at Epicure. I figured that it would be a long lunch which turned out to be a four and half hour lunch. Yes, the longest lunch of our lives. And it was worth every single minute!

The restaurant inside Hotel Le Bristol is gorgeous. We were met with a beautiful arrangement of flowers and rugs of pinks and violets. The warm reddish tones continued into the dining room where we were greeted with warmth by the staff.

The food here was exceptional with not a single course veering off in excellence. It ranged from the signature caviar with potato mousseline smoked in haddock with buckwheat crips and sour cream dressing, full of umami to the perfectly cooked langoustine in lemon and thyme, onion mango and broth flavored with coriander and citrus fruits. The candele macaroni with black truffle, artichoke and foie gras filling in parmesan cheese, and black truffle juice reminded of a similar dish at Acquerello in San Francisco in visual appearance and ingredients.

Out of the entire lunch full of numerous courses, there were three highlights. The salmon from Scotland in powder of tandoori spices, fennel and cucumber with mint oil and rice vinegar was stunning. Simply, it was the best cooked salmon I’ve ever had in my life so far. If salmon is this good in Scotland, I wonder what other types of seafood exists in Scotland… Before this, the best salmon I had was from Alaska. The hen breast poached in a bladder was incredibly moist that it cut like butter and the green asparagus with morels that accompanied it in a wine reduction with crayfish and golden chanterelles with Xeres was incredible. I immediately had a flash back to the piece of chicken served at La Grenouille in NYC some 16 years ago which was the best I’ve ever had until this dish. To continue this momentum the trolley of macarons and chocolates were incredibly flavorful. I believe she said that the macarons were made on the premise every day. We love macarons and to hear my wife say that these are the best macarons I’ve had so far brought immense joy.

To mark our honeymoon, the staff spread red rose petals and an edible sugar sculpture on our table during dessert time. They were genuine, warm, attentive, and clear professionals at hospitality. They made us feel special and well cared for throughout our 4.5 hour lunch for a very memorable experience.

Merci beaucoup, Epicure!
