Pierre Gagnaire

Very well known, chef Pierre Gagnaire serves high-priced, modern cuisine at his flagship 3-Star Michelin restaurant on rue Balzac. Despite its lofty price tag, the restaurant has a surprisingly informal interior with a wood-and-gray dining room. Preferring to put the food center stage — dishes are often so complex they require a multi-line menu description — the team of in-house chefs specializes in creative and unexpected taste and texture combinations. Durably popular menu selections include the Britanny lobster and the dazzling seven-course Grand Dessert.
