At the restaurant L’Arpège, you will find brilliance not in the decorations (it’s chic but somewhat sombre), but on the plate. For this French chef, food and the preparation that goes into cooking it, is an art. The cuisine is light and simple, and the quality of the ingredients
is excellent.

Joel Robuchon gets his inspirations, not from the traditional French café, but from a Spanish tapas bar. High counters accompanied by stools, line the restaurant and give the customers a unusual view of the kitchen. All the same, the menu is original and the chef was awarded his second Michelin Star in 2008.
