Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée

Established in this iconic luxury hotel on Avenue Montaigne, a high-flying kitchen brigade consummately and indulgently adds a fresh perspective to France’s culinary heritage: Dieppe-style seabass, Albufera poultry, venison à la royale and the extravagant “grand dessert”… Seated at the majestic marble table d'hôte in the Régence hall dripping in gilt work and pampered by Denis Courtiade’s on-the-ball team, how could you not fall under the spell?
