Michel Rostang

For lovers of French haute cuisine, Michel Rostang is a name to conjure with. His multi-starred home restaurant offers the full-scale experience, from wonderful service to beautifully-appointed dining rooms, to high-end ingredients, to complex dishes, to superb skill in the kitchen. Not far from the Arc de Triomphe, Michel Rostang requires a little searching, but it is amply rewarded by the experience. Starters may include gratin of onions of Cevennes with white truffle, main course of quenelles of pike with lobster cream, and a choice of puddings, but there will be amuse-gueles and lots of wonderful touches it is impossible to convey with a simple description. Be prepared for a formidable experience.
