Le Millénaire

This is the place to se faire un petit plaisir, that is, spoil yourself. You'll do so on dishes that are either wonderfully creative—a recent melon soup with crispy bacon croutons was a delightful, and refreshing, take on that old standby of canteloupe wrapped in prosciutto—or wonderfully indulgent, like lobster roasted with wild mushrooms or sweetbreads with truffles. Get the tasting menu, though be warned that the portions are big enough for two, a shame since desserts are just as delicious as mains—the problem is saving room for them. Sadly the setting, while comfortable, isn't nearly as luxurious as the food. To us it looks a bit like an airport lounge. But don't let that put you off what will likely be one of your best meals in France.
