Hélène Darroze
Hélène Darroze Review
The most celebrated female chef in Paris is now cooking at the Connaught in London, but her St-Germain dining room is an exclusive setting for her sophisticated take on southwestern French food. Darroze's intriguingly modern touch comes through in such dishes as a sublime duck foie gras confit served with an exotic-fruit chutney or a blowout of roast wild duck stuffed with foie gras and truffles. If the food, at its best, lives up to the very high prices, the service sometimes struggles to reach the same level. For a more affordable taste, try the relatively casual Salon d'Hélène downstairs, which serves a very reasonable €28 lunch menu.

Loren24250, from Daglan, the Dordogne
My wife and I and two friends had a Saturday lunch at Helene Darroze's restaurant in early October, and came away with mixed reactions. The first part of the meal was excellent -- delicious food and attentive service. But at the end of the meal, the staff seemed to lose all interest in us, even forgetting to bring an extra coffee I had ordered. This isn't what I expect in a Michelin-starred restaurant. As well, the room was over-heated, and the furnishings starting to be a bit tatty, given the price. Not a bad experience, by any means, but not stellar either.
