On the 7th floor of La Samaritaine, in the heart of the swanky Cheval Blanc Hotel, this smart brasserie, part of the Langosteria group, marries Italian cucina with a chic urbane vibe. Its spacious elegant dining room welcomes hotel residents and a well-heeled clientele who come to sample its seafaring menu. Examples include refined crudos (tartare of yellowtail, gambero rosso) and pasta to die for: spaghetti with Galician sea urchins, paccheri with line-caught seabass, capers, olives and Amalfi lemons. Among the decadent desserts, the orange, grapefruit and limoncello meringue soufflée is a highlight. Swish service and a knockout wine list: a place to eat and be seen!
