It was a pleasure to join this place an d enjoy a perfect dinner. The concept with a separate lounge area and the dinner tables is nice. You can relax. Georges Blanc himself welcomed us. The winelist is like a Bible and a bit of a challenge with a great selection. But the sommeliers helped. The dishes are a great experience. From a decorative point of view, the small menu looked a bit more attractive but that's a matter of taste and recognition. Thanks for the great night.

Amazing experience here! We booked the anniversary package and were pampered for the entire weekend. The menu was amazing and worth the 3 macaroons they earned it for more than 40 years. My husband said that he had the best wine pairing in his life here as every glasses were grand cru (Prestige). The hotel room was traditionally charming and the services were above French average. Overall, I’m delighted with my stay and to met the famous chef in person.
