Restaurant Carré des Feuillants
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in town (Paris) The jewellers on Place Vendôme are a natural setting to one of the greatest culinary inventors: Alain Dutournier.

This doesn’t stop him from being renowned for his minimalist, original cuisine based on unexpected textures and complexities: prawns, melon and saffron - lobster, almonds and fennel - Saint-Pierre, cabbage and raifort - pheasant, chestnuts and Alba truffles - foie gras, topinambur and black truffles. Here, originality is the order of the day. Here, emotions are omnipresent. Here, non-conformity has been elevated to a lifestyle. If you are a gourmet aesthete, the Carré des Feuillants is an absolute must.
