Cristal Room

Frommer's Review

The Taittinger family of champagne fame has opened this Baccarat crystal-laden room in a former town house of the art patroness, Marie-Laure de Noailles. She was known as the benefactor of such artists as Man Ray and Salvador Dalí. For the new restaurant setting, Philippe Starck was called in to create the minimalist decor, with a bow to the Surrealists. The chef is the brilliant Thierry Burlot, a total original, creating his own take on such classics as oyster ravioli or even a caramel soufflé, each dish having a distinctive flavor. Start, perhaps, with a delectable foie gras from Landes and follow with such delights as marinated shrimp in a red curry or lobster carpaccio.
