Frommer's Review
This is a bastion of perfection, an enclave of haute gastronomy. When chef Alain Dutournier turned this 17th-century convent between the place Vendôme and the Tuileries into a restaurant, it was an overnight success. The interior is artfully simple and even, in the eyes of some diners, spartan-looking. It has a vaguely Asian feel, shared by a series of small, monochromatic dining rooms that are mostly outfitted in tones of off-white, black, and beige, and that overlook a flowering courtyard and a glass-enclosed kitchen. You'll find a sophisticated reinterpretation of cuisine from France's southwest, using seasonal ingredients and lots of know-how. Examples include a cappuccino of chestnuts with white truffles; a "cake" of Jerusalem artichokes studded with foie gras and black truffles; grilled monkfish with crispy potatoes and French caviar (from the Gironde region of France), served with a cabbage lasagna and horseradish sauce; and grilled wood pigeon with chutney and polenta.
