Fodor's Review:
After a rapid ascent at his own new-wave bistro, which led to his renown as one of the more inventive young chefs in Paris, Eric Frechon became head chef at the Bristol, the home-away-from-home for billionaires and power brokers. Frechon creates masterworks -- say, farmer's pork cooked "from head to foot" with truffle-enhanced crushed potatoes -- that rarely stray far from the comfort-food tastes of bistro cooking. The EUR 80 lunch menu makes his cooking accessible not just to the palate but to many pocketbooks. No wonder his tables are so coveted. Though the two dining rooms are impeccable -- an oval oak-panel one for fall and winter and a marble-floor pavilion overlooking the courtyard garden for spring and summer -- they provide few clues to help the world-weary traveler determine which city this might be.
