Comments on these Parisian restaurants?
 

<BR>Hi- <BR> <BR>I'm planning to make dinner reservations at the following restaurants in Paris. They are the top 3 restaurants listed in Zagats. I'm curious if anyone has eaten at any of them and if you could share your experiences. They are TAILLEVENT, AMBROISIE, and ARPEGE. <BR> <BR>Merci <BR> <BR>Mike

<BR>Mike <BR>I have eaten at Taillevent and I have a reservation to go there again in early October--recommend for any of these that you book as early as possible. Taillevent was perfect, formal decor, wonderfully formal yet cordial, even friendly service, outstanding food. <BR>I have poked my head in at L'Ambrosie <BR>(a very difficult reservation to get, indeed, because it is so small) and thought the decor was little cold for my taste, but that is a personal opinion, as you know the restaurant is said to be one of the best. <BR>

This may be a stupid question, but how does one go about making advance reservations at these places? Should I e-mail my hotel in the St. Germain area and request that they make the reservation for me or should I fax/e-mail the restaurant directly? If going through the restaurant directly do you have contact information? Thanks!!

Asking your hotel to do it for you is the easiest way. I would call the restaurant directly as the next option. Both the Fodors and Zagat.com websites have phone #s for restaurants. <BR> <BR>Bon Chance!
