Fodor's Review:

A former star—more of a comet, really—in the Alain Ducasse galaxy, Jean-François Piège has established his own identity in Hôtel de Crillon's hallowed 18th-century dining room, updated in muted tones that offset the glistening marble. Born in 1970, he's young enough to play with food—deconstructing and reconstructing an egg to look like a square marshmallow, its yolk studded with white truffle—and grown-up enough to serve unabashedly rich classics of French cooking, such as deboned squab stuffed with foie gras. An expert at pairing langoustines and caviar, he has come up with a new version for Le Crillon, wrapping the ingredients in a delicate crêpe. The weekday lunch menu offers lashings of luxe for a relatively reasonable EUR 88.

Reviewed by onetravelone from Washington, DC on 7/5/07
My experience at thsi restaurant was out of this world. The idning room is elegant with marble, a painted ceiling, and gold gilded mirrors. And that's just the beginning! The service was to die for- refilling of water, waiters who spoke both French and English, the attention to detail, etc. The food was amazing- the foix gras came both hot and cold and was the best my husband ever ate! The extras were a treat- a ice cream lolipop and bread for breakfast as we were leaving. The experience is very expensive but it was worth every penny we spent. Please disregard the other review!!
