Cinq (Le), Paris

A dinner at Le Cinq can give you a good idea of what fine French dining is all about. With a decor that resembles the dining room of a royal palace - carpeted floors, elegant chandeliers, ornate adornments et al, this restaurant is probably the best place to go with someone whom you really want to impress; that is, if you're willing to spend a good amount! The food, prepared under the expert supervision of well-known Philippe Legendre includes traditional French classics that are made, garnished and presented with all the charm and etiquette that the French are known for! The atmosphere is rich with an elite crowd and views of the hotel's courtyard and garden. With all of this, three Michelin stars too seem inadequate!
