About the restaurant
L'Orangerie is a veritable glass jewel, offering an unobstructed view of the famous Marble Courtyard. As night falls, the atmosphere flooding this glasshouse becomes intimate and magical: the perfect moment to enter the refined universe of this restaurant awarded with two Michelin stars.

Bold and creative, chef Alan Taudon has made the radical choice of a unique and responsible culinary signature, exclusively focused on plant-based and seafood. Showcasing inventiveness and modernity, reinterpreting the codes of French haute cuisine, this lover of sauces imagines delicate and subtle compositions carried by techniques that impress with their innovative character. A true ode to true and sincere taste, where each plate is a feat of lightness and concentration of aromas. A vegetable-based gastronomic experience conducive to a sensory escape, enhanced by delicate sweet bites signed by pastry chef Michael Bartocetti.

It's hard to go wrong in Paris. Dinner was a 6 course tasting menu that they modified for me - my husband had the menu as it was. They also came up with an excellent bottle of wine - more expensive than the dinner but well worth it. The staff was lovely and the menu was very creative. I see another Michelin star in their future! We will go back the next time we are in Paris.

Although we booked through Opentable and had the confirmation email, ONYX had no record of our reservation and tried to turn us away saying they are fully booked. We persisted, and were seated at what was clearly the least desirable table next to a waiter’s station, but we took it in stride. It took a while to be attended to, but once our order was taken, out waiter was attentive and ensured we always had some of their delicious bread on our plates. We ordered the Prefix menu which was really good and reasonably priced for a fine dining restaurant in Paris.

Champs-Élysées
About the restaurant
Le Cinq unveils itself behind two majestic wrought-iron doors. In this room with a classic Franco-English style, where excellence serves emotion, chef Christian Le Squer shapes a cuisine of products, modern, elegant, and constantly evolving. A distinguished culinary composition of the highest accolade, as Le Cinq has been awarded 3 Michelin stars since 2016.

Centered around seasonal ingredients sourced from small producers, the menu reflects the chef's Breton roots and Parisian inspirations. Among his signature dishes, Breton langoustines, gratinated onion soup, or line-caught sea bass with buttermilk from my childhood are must-tries. An explosion of tastes and flavors.

By his side, his accomplice Eric Beaumard, the iconic Restaurant Director and vice-world's best Sommelier, orchestrates high-flying service and supervises the cellar with 50,000 bottles that has made Le Cinq's worldwide reputation.

About the restaurant
In the kitchen of this Japanese address near the Olympia Paris 9th, our chef RAOUL interprets the great classics of Japanese gastronomy, but does not shy away from links with French cuisine either. At dinner, the chef takes care to imagine the menu for his customers by offering an “omakase” in 7 Japanese tapas according to their mood and the seasons. The AO Japanese restaurant also offers, like the Izakayas of Tokyo, a menu of hot and cold Japanese tapas. During the week, discover authentic tempuras, sushi and Sashimi made to order by a Japanese chef. Typically Japanese Bentos are offered at lunch.

Great menu and food, lovely spot, and friendly service! The restaurant did not have our reservation from Open Table. However, they seated us promptly so it wasn't an issue.
