At Le Relais Plaza, I'm bringing the history of French food, and the cooking I used to do with my grandmother, with me to this historic place.

A step back in time
Le Relais Plaza is one of the city’s last remaining Art Deco dining rooms, and its glamorous 1930s spirit lives on. Look out for Diane Chasseresse’s original frescoes alongside Lalique’s spectacular chandelier and engraved zodiac stained glass.
