The Most Posh Restaurants in Paris, France
As if Paris isn't posh enough, there are actually restos in the area that are set apart in terms of price, ambiance, and food quality. However, we're quite sure you wouldn't mind eating in an al fresco caf©, as long as it's on the streets of Paris, right?
But how cool would it be to try out one of these restaurants and just be all classy for a day (or night, if you're going at dinner time)? Who knows, you might even sight some celebrities and make your expensive dinner all worth it. By worth it, I mean Zac Efron.
Le Meurice
They say that French chefs only learn how to cook French cuisine. This is reflected in Le Meurice, a critics' favorite restaurant run by Chef Yannick Alleno. Although the interiors look super classic and periodic, the menu is on a constant evolution. Expect nothing but the freshest and finest ingredients, such as honey from the roofs of Opera Garnier, and local produce from Pontoise. Damage? Expect to shell out around 200 euros each. Ouch.
Gordon Ramsay au Trianon
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey set up shop in Paris, particularly inside the Hotel Trianon. The restaurant has only ten tables, which spells e-x-c-l-u-s-i-v-i-t-y, and a menu fit only for the discriminating tongues. Try the pan-fried Scottish sea scallops with shellfish cream. Just the name makes me crave. Besides, I would love to see €hell's kitchen€ in person.
Restaurant Guy Savoy
Another celebrity chef who has graced the Paris cuisine landscape, Guy Savoy offers different menus that is very much dependent on the season. That only means one thing - you can count on it that he only uses the freshest ingredients that are grown naturally, and based on their season of bloom. The interiors are also more relaxed that other fine-dining restaurants, so you can turn your posh a notch down.
L'Astrance
Famous for its adventurous dishes that are downright French yet always surprisingly new, L'Astrance was created by Chef Pascal Barbot, who used to be an apprentice of Alain Passard. Dining in the restaurant can feel like an experience, with experimental dishes such as turbot with lemon and ginger, and sometimes with sea urchins and spinach. Lunch will cost you about 80 euros, dinner 200. Posh has a price, is what it is. But no matter how expensive a dinner here can be, it still should be worth it, what with all the plane tickets, the hotel bookings and the fact that Paris is far from home.
