You could be forgiven for thinking you were in the French capital when you visit this stylish restaurant (located on the second floor of a chic shopping mall and named after the renown Parisian brasserie), with its waiters in black jackets and long white aprons, and a typical old-world brasserie ambience. Fresh oysters are a specialty, and so is fresh lobster, which diners can choose from a tank. Other signature dishes include regional favorites from southwest France, such as charcuterie and cassoulet—a flavorful sausage and white bean casserole, slow-cooked the tradional way in a deep earthenware dish. The enormous freshest-of-fresh shellfish platters are not for the faint-hearted; however, they are as every bit as delicious as they are spectacular. Lipp is an especially popular venue for business entertaining, so booking is advisable, even at lunchtime.
