Maison Pic

As one of the world’s most celebrated female chefs, Pic occasionally lets fame go to her head. Luckily, you’ll forget the blown-up portraits in the entranceway as soon as you reach the plush dining room. An army of staff is on hand to serve you course after course from specially commissioned cutlery. Don’t miss her celebrated berlingots (filled sachets). The new on-site brasserie is the perfect alternative for those on a budget: André delivers Pic cuisine at sensible prices in a Parisian bistro-style setting with an open-plan kitchen and leather banquettes. Room prices are punchy: from 280€ to 360€ for a double. Ask for a quieter room facing the garden.
