Les Morainières - Jongieux
Seafood-heavy French cuisine with many local ingredients. Very varied dishes, often preparing single ingredient in multiple ways
Hakuba - Paris
An impressive presentation of Japanese cuisine with French influences. Not really traditional, but very flavorful throughout
Alliance - Paris
Modern French cuisine that tends towards minimalism - most dishes have three or fewer main ingredients. Good, but maybe not quite two-stars-good
Virtus - Paris
The cooking at this husband-and-wife-run restaurant was quite impressive, all served in a very relaxed vibe. Worth checking out in a less touristy part of Paris
Blanc - Paris
Modern French cuisine that is quite creative - no “standard” dishes here. Not everything worked 100%, but overall still a lovely experience
Le Coquillage - Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes
An impressive variety of seafood dishes, often featuring ingredients from the local bay and the restaurant’s farm. Unfortunately, the flavor intensity was dialed way down for most of our dinner
Sushi Yoshinaga - Paris
Sushi adapted for French palates was both delicious and an educational experience
Le Gabriel - Paris
A tasting menu inspired by the chef’s native Brittany had some good seafood dishes and an truly outstanding chicken. Overall though, this was among the weaker of Paris’ three-starred restaurants
La Table du Castellet - Le Castellet
Two seasonal tasting menus, one based on vegetables, one based on seafood, are both very well designed - a great choice for vegetarians and pescatarians. Dishes were generally lovely, but only a single dish was solidly in three-star territory
La Marine - L'Herbaudière
Seasonal seafood and vegetables star in a tasting menu with many fantastic dishes. Maybe a bit repetitive overall, but that might be due to the season
La Villa Madie - Cassis
Phenomenal seafood meets lackluster non-seafood dishes in this three-star restaurant located right on the Mediterranean sea. The successes alone make this worth the trip
L'Ambroisie - Paris
Classic French cuisine, a la carte only. Desserts were uniformly excellent, but the rest of the dishes varied widely from one to three-star levels - good luck in ordering “right” plays a big role in one’s experience
Arpège - Paris
Amazing mostly vegetarian French cuisine, creatively reinterpreting classic dishes. Ironically, the single non-vegetarian dish was the high-point of an excellent lunch
Plénitude - Paris
Enjoyable Mediterranean-inspired French cuisine with a focus on unique sauces, only marred by a rushed service more appropriate for a speed-eating competition
Le Pré Catelan - Paris
French cuisine with bold flavors and many excellent dishes. Add to that a beautiful park setting in the middle of Paris and you have a trip worth taking
Kei - Paris
French cuisine with Japanese touches. Seafood and meat cooked superbly, desserts amazing, but most savory courses ended up being just “ok”
Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen - Paris
A beautiful setting in the middle of Paris with solid modern French cuisine that occasionally is a bit heavy
Christopher Coutanceau - La Rochelle
Stellar French seafood cuisine in a beautiful setting. Some audacious flavor combinations, great service and an excellent wine pairing - a true three star meal
Les Prés d'Eugénie - Eugénie-les-Bains
Seasonal, light, expertly prepared French cusine in a palatial setting with wonderful service
Auberge du Vieux Puits - Fontjoncouse
Beautifully presented, delicious dishes in the Languedoc region of France: works of culinary and visual art
