Epicure

"Le Bristol is a world of absolute luxury, from its suites to its spa, from the superb formal garden to the rooftop pool and the dining area with Louis XVI furnishings, mirrors, and tall French windows opening onto the greenery outside. This palace hotel has chosen to name its restaurant after Epicurus: the Greek philosopher who believed in pleasure in temperance, a motto that suits this top-flight cuisine, sometimes tinged with classicism. Superb ingredients, impeccable technique, bread made on the premises from heirloom varieties of wheat: nothing is left to chance." - Michelin Inspector

"The allure of Le Bristol Paris is synonymous with opulence, drawing the likes of Rihanna. That's equally true of Three MICHELIN Star Epicure located within. Adorned with exquisite Louis XVI furniture, ornate mirrors, and grand French windows that unveil serene greenery, the restaurant's grandiose setting elevates the dining experience. A harmonious symphony of flavors hones in on the very essence of Parisian haute cuisine." - Ty Gaskins

"There's no mistaking it, this is a triple-Michelin-starred restaurant with the white tablecloths, immaculate service, chic decor, and culinary muscle to prove it. The dining room is vast and widely spaced—the best tables are those in front of the window that overlooks the hotel's ( Le Bristol ) interior garden. Music is hushed, as are conversations, which allows you to focus on a meal experience that borders on religious. Lean into the fussy Frenchiness of it—though you'll hardly be thinking about the decor once Eric Frechon's first dish is placed before you." - Sara Lieberman, Lindsey Tramuta

"Rank: #83 "At the three-Michelin-starred Epicure, esteemed chef Eric Frechon offers an unparalleled gastronomic experience."

"Three Michelin Stars, MICHELIN Guide France 2019. With plush plaid chairs, floral drapery and a visually-stunning golden chandelier, Épicure resembles a luxe dining room plucked from a countryside chateau. The menu is more comforting than avant-garde — large langoustines cooked in a light broth, Challans duck roasted with blackberry leaves, and black truffle ice cream with “gianduja” chocolate sauce. Look out for the dessert trolley that is loaded with homemade candy from nougat, marshmallows to caramels. A Valentine’s Day menu costs 680 Euros per person. What our inspectors say: 'The Bristol’s restaurant underwent a transformation in 2011. The bright dining room overlooking the garden boasts a restrained, distinguished elegance in which the glamour of the 18th century shines forth. The virtuosity of Éric Fréchon’s classic cuisine bears witness to his freedom of expression with regard to great tradition. He creates dishes that are fresh and endowed with the finest flavours.'" - Kenneth Goh
