Dating from 1825, one of the city's most prestigious restaurants today occupies an early-20th-century monument that critics have referred to as "organic rococo." Designed by architect Alfred Duprat and crafted from distressed rocks into an Art Nouveau-style grotto, it soars almost 7.5m (25 ft.) to a skylight that floods the interior with light. Owner Nicolas Frion features artful renditions of fresh foie gras of duckling; lobster salad; Pauillac lamb grilled with peppers and mushrooms; sea bass with pecans, celery leaves, and cream; and succulent crayfish and scallops braised in spices and wine. The restaurant is in one of the city's upscale neighborhoods, between place Gambetta and the Marché aux Grands Hommes.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
