Le Meurice

2007-11-16T07:48:00.001-08:00

A showpiece filled with ornate gilding, Louis XVI period crystal chandeliers, antique bevelled mirrors and large bay windows framed in rare marbles, the three Michelin star Restaurant ‘le Meurice’ recreates the lustrous effects of this period's architectural detailing. Landscape paintings on the wall and a ceiling depicting a blue sky with angels create an uplifting, open feeling.

The floral-infused decor echoes the Tuileries Garden, with chairs and curtains in floral patterns of yellow, salmon and green. The china, specially created by Limoges for Le Meurice, matches the mosaic patterns on the floor.

Against such a background, guests feel as if they have been invited to a private dinner hosted by Louis XV. The lavish atmosphere is further enhanced by the exquisite treats offered at ‘le Meurice’, including a chariot of confitures at breakfast and the superb after-dinner mignardises created by Pastry Chef, Camille Lesecq.

Open:

Monday to Friday - 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm; 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm

River Café

2007-11-13T10:02:00.000-08:00

The urban location is off the beaten track and somewhat rough around the edges, but the spirit of The River Café is happy, leisurely and bucolic.

Take a walk along the Thames river path in W6 when the sun's shining and spy on the staff shelling peas, snipping herbs or choosing a squash from a row of vividly coloured knobbly specimens lined-up out front.

The River Café was started in 1987 by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray to service Ruth's husband Richard's architecture partnership.

Since then, it's enjoyed its status as the canteen of choice for politicos, luvvies and foodies. The twice-changing daily menu is simplicity itself, offering superb game in season, perfect handmade pasta, simply cooked seafood and, of course, that famous Chocolate Nemesis.

Behind the stove:

Le Bernardin

2007-11-13T05:28:00.000-08:00

Le Bernardin, New York's internationally acclaimed four star seafood restaurant, was born in Paris in 1972 by sibling duo Maguy and Gilbert Le Coze.

Dedicated entirely to the cuisine of Gilbert Le Coze, the self-taught seafood wizard, it only served fish: Fresh, simple and prepared with respect. Le Bernardin was named after an order of monks who liked to eat and drink and a song about the monks that Gabriel Le Coze, Maguy's and Gilbert's father, kept singing to them.

Maguy and Gilbert Le Coze were born and raised in a small village called Port Navalo in Brittany, France. Le Coze's parents owned and operated a small restaurant and inn, the Hotel de Rhuys. Gilbert received his cooking lessons by helping his grandfather and father in the kitchen and on the fishing boat while Maguy Le Coze worked alongside her mother in the dining room.

The dual combination of Gilbert's new cooking techniques — unheard of in the Haute Cuisine-obsessed salons of Paris' better restaurants in the early seventies—with Maguy's energy and drive in the dining room propelled Le Bernardin to one Michelin star in 1976

that Le Bernardin was opened on a shoestring budget with Maguy's and Gilbert's parents helping out in the kitchen as the only employees on opening night, the Michelin accolades were an incredible accomplishment.

Continuing its success story, in 1980 the restaurant moved to a larger location garnering two coveted Michelin stars. T

his was the highest acclaim for a seafood-only restaurant since the powerful Michelin organization reserves the right to bestow three stars to restaurants with menus that also offer meat, games, poultry and fish to its diners. Le Bernardin insisted on only serving the best fish, carving out a niche in the competitive restaurant world of Paris and establishing an international reputation.

Inspired by the triumph of Le Bernardin in Paris and its many American clients, the Le Coze's sought to open a Le Bernardin in New York in 1986. By again employing the technique of "divide and conquer", Maguy commanded the functions of the dining room and décor, while seafood virtuoso Gilbert took control of the kitchen.

In no time, Le Bernardin became a four star restaurant which is renown for setting standards in the cooking of seafood in America. The restaurant holds several records in New York: it received its four star review from the New York Times only three months after opening—that's how much Gilbert's unconventional cooking had taken New Yorkers—and is the only New York four star restaurant that has maintained its status of excellence for more than 10 years. Reviews have come in 1986, 1989 and 1995 with the same verdict: Four stars.

After the unexpected death of her brother Gilbert in 1994, Maguy Le Coze is now working closely with her partner/chef Eric Ripert. Ripert, one of the brightest talents in the kitchens of the world, and Le Coze continue to uphold Le Bernardin's position as one of the world's premier restaurants. In 1998, Maguy Le Coze won the coveted James Beard Award for "Outstanding Restaurant" in America, and in May 2003 Eric Ripert was named "Outstanding Chef" by the James Beard Foundation. The 2004 Zagat's Guide rated Le Bernardin number one for food in New York.

To the delight of its fans all over the world, 1998 also saw the publication of Le Bernardin's first cookbook called Le Bernardin—Four Star Simplicity.

Sydney Morning Herald

"There is a secret class in Sydney, too loosely defined to be called any sort of society. No, they're united pretty much solely by their willingness to spend their solvency on slices of flesh from around the belly and gill ofthe bluefin tuna. And they flock to Azuma, because they know that ... it'll probably end up here."

Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide 2006

"When chef Kimitaki Azuma first started out in smaller premises, he was catering very much to those in the know. Now he's moved to a smart city eatery and offers a range of lunch and dinner menus, with treats like lobster and abalone, beautiful wagyu beef and excellent sashimi and sushi."

Louis XV

2007-11-06T01:42:00.000-08:00

A GARDEN OVERLOOKING THE SEA

In the Hotel de Paris in Monte-Carlo, one of the finest hotels in the world, Alain Ducasse presents his Riviera cuisine:

“If it had to be one colour, it would be the blue of the Mediterranean sea. If it had to have only one taste, it would be the subtle yet flavoursome taste of olive oil. If it had to be described in a single word, it would be ‘essential’.”

The dining room is decorated in the style of 17th century Versailles, a place of gold and sparkling light, in which the entire décor and every piece of china adds to its striking sophistication.

A mini-dining room in the heart of the kitchens, called the ‘Aquarium’, has a bank of 6 video screens and is used by Alain Ducasse to entertain certain guests and friends.

The Mediterranean … the cuisine of the Louis XV restaurant makes wonderful use of the produce associated with it – fruit, vegetables, iodine rich rock fish.

From the mountains to the sea – the colourful dishes reflect local flavours which are basic and strong, sometimes to the point of bitterness, but also sweet tastes, sun drenched, heavy and rich, smelling of the earth.

The menu is a veritable symphony of tastes, composed and conducted by Franck Cerutti. It changes with the seasons and includes a number of themes : the vegetable garden, the sea, the farm, the pasture, etc.

" The region where I live, the tastes and colours of my childhood, tales of exile in Italy and long journeys to the Far East – all these things influence my cooking at the Louis XV. I am not looking to perform culinary exploits but to offer my guests the chance to enjoy some essential pleasures. This can only be achieved by the appropriate combination and correct preparation of ingredients. That is the secret. " FRANCK CERUTTI, Chef de cuisine.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

2007-11-04T12:10:00.001-08:00

World travellers can now enjoy a slice of L'Atelier magic in a number of global foodie destinations, from Tokyo to Las Vegas and, most recently, London and New York.

But there's nowhere quite like the Paris branch. It was here the brand, launched in Tokyo in 2003, really took off, when superstar Chef Joël Robuchon introduced the new concept to his Parisian faithful. Queues famously stretched round the block, thanks to a no-reservation policy that saw VIPs and glitterati lining up with - gasp! - regular diners.

Out went starched linen and elaborate dishes, in came tapas-style menus, bar stools at the counter and tasting-size dishes of the master's fine French cuisine, cooked by a cool brigade of black-clad chefs in the open kitchen.

The sexily lit interiors in bold black and red, by Pierre Yves Rochon, set the tone for modern dining on an intimate scale.

The simply but beautifully plated appetizer-size dishes are based upon the finest seafood, meat and vegetables of the season, in creations as diverse as Lobster Carpaccio with Aromatic Herbs, Confit Leg of Lamb with Cumin and Spiced Couscous or Pigeon with Cabbage and Foie Gras. But remember, nobody leaves without trying the Pomme Purée.

Pierre Gagnaire

2007-11-04T11:37:00.001-08:00

There's been a lot of flowery prose describing Pierre Gagnaire's cooking. The generally accepted view is that he personifies the romantic idea of 'the chef as artist' better than anyone in France today - and there's a lot of competition for that title.

This is understandable, his approach to cooking is most definitely of the cerebral school. He frequently collaborates with friend, the famous French physical chemist Hervé This, his menus often read like Rive Gauche poetry and there's a section on his website entitled Mon Universe.

Looking like the suave Gallic answer to Kris Kristofferson, until recently, Gagnaire's image did nothing to discourage the notion that he was all tortured culinary jazz daddy chained to his stove.

But since 2003, when he started consulting on the ambitious Sketch in London, Gagnaire has both opened up and opened more restaurants, including the casual experimental Gaya, on gay Paris' Left Bank, and international operations in Tokyo and Hong Kong, with a Dubai outpost about to open. Nevertheless, it's at his eponymous Paris flagship that his creativity still flows most fluently, the kitchen throwing out the sort of combinations that seem insane on paper but look like works of art on the plate and feel like them on the palate.

What you're left with at the end is an overwhelming sense that he simply wants to feed and please his customers.

THE GOURMET (Gannette Newspapers)

Gerry Dawes (June 1999)

Rating: excellent

"...reasonably priced, considering the quality of the fish and the skill that went into the preparations..."

"...watching a master sushi chef prepare an omakase meal is fascinating dinner theater and worth the price of admission."

"For those who do not like sushi....There are plenty of cooked foods on the menu."

"If you are one of those seek out real, authentic and traditional food, I highly recommend an excursion to Hajime. Chef Takahashi's omakase menu is nirvana for lovers of great Japanese food."

by M. H. Reed (May 2000)

" Hajime, a neat, compact dining spot and clearly one of the favorites in the Harrison neighborhood .... most diners are greeted by name. "

" a lovely long sushi counter with two carefully organized refrigerator cases well stocked with glistening fresh fish ..... the precise, almost orchestrated movements of cutting and assembling sushi and sashimi make an amazing show "

" Hajime's draw is the fine variety of pristine raw fish kept on hand "

From the moment you pull into the dogwood-lined driveway at Le Château, your one-of-a-kind experience begins. Set on 32 beautiful acres in northern Westchester County, Le Château first offers a spectacular view of the Hudson River Valley. Then, it's on to the historic 20-room mansion, where timeless grace beckons. Built in 1907 by J. P. Morgan as a gift to his friend and former minister, Dr. William S. Rainsford, the elegant mansion's brick and stone exterior would be nearly impossible to duplicate today. The warm and welcome entrance leads into a rich atmosphere of rooms paneled in chestnut, cherry and oak. Hand-hewn woodwork, chestnut beams, grand staircases and cozy stone fireplaces all set the scene for an elegant experience in fine dining.
Whether you're enjoying the sunset from one of Le Château's terraces, or attending an outdoor party or wedding, you'll feel like a special guest. In spring and summer, lovely flowers and formal gardens add a rainbow of color to the stately stone walls and brick walkways. In the fall, the deep crimsons and ambers of the autumn leaves provide a warm backdrop

Fine French cuisine is what Le Château is best known for. Prepared by an expert staff from all over the world, the French menu includes unique and sumptuous entrees such as Muscovy duck with cherry sauce, half pheasant with foie gras and truffles sauce, rack of lamb perfumed with garlic and herb sauce, and much more. Begin your meal by selecting from one of the best wine collections in the area including more than 100 labels.
