CINQ (le)

A look at the menu replete with lobster, truffles, caviar, Bresse chicken, turbot and sea bass and you could believe it to be simply a roll-call of grandeur. Not so. Philippe Legendre does indeed produce luxury fare, but combined with precise execution, well-judged service and just a whiff of invention. The undoubted highlight is the lobster, wood-smoked in its shell and surrounded by a delicate, frothy morel sauce. The cheese trolley is full of well-aged specimens, among them the fabulous venaco de Corse.

Average Price : 180 € (without the wine)
