$$$$, French, Champs-Élysées
Fodor's Review:
Operated by one of the most enduring families in French gastronomy -- the Troisgros clan has run a world-famous restaurant in Roanne for three generations -- this stylish boutique-hotel restaurant is the perfect setting for the stellar cosmopolitan cuisine. Try to sit in the stunning Asian-inspired courtyard with its red walls and bamboo. Often drawing on humble ingredients such as eel or pigs' ears, the food reveals fascinating flavor and texture contrasts, like silky sardines on crunchy melba toast or tangy frogs' legs in tamarind. A classic borrowed from the menu in Roanne is cod in a seaweed bouillon over white rice, a subtle and sensual dish. Don't miss the desserts, such as not one but two slices of sugar tart with grapefruit slices for contrast.
