It’s important to remember that wine is not an exact science. For me, it’s about encouraging people to try something new and sharing the stories behind each one.

Sheer splendour
Where everything centres around a grand Royal Table crafted from antique Breccia pink marble. Adorning the room with 20,000 gold leaves and a gilded ceiling, designer Remi Tessier has created a jewel of a restaurant with a warm, convivial atmosphere.

Jean Imbert
Voted Chef of the Year 2019 by GQ and one of the 50 Most Influential French People by Vanity Fair, Jean Imbert’s accolades make quite the introduction. His vision is to restore the glory of ancient French cuisine, with a new energy and vibrant soul.

The Great Dessert
Inspired by traditional recipes such as the ‘L’Ambassadeur’ and ‘Fontainebleau’, our generous chefs didn’t want to limit you to only one dessert – the menu is simply an indication of all the desserts that will arrive like magic on your table.
