I like Septime as well.. check it out, it is in the 11th. Reserve early.

Those are young chefs, who travelled and aren't stuck to the traditional way of cooking.
But aren't starred... One that I like and just got a star is http://www.restaurantitineraires.com
I have followed Sylvain since he was a one man show in the 11th.

for a real name drop, in'05 in dead of winter, george blanc must have been bored to death, because he came out of the kitchen and spent the whole dinner talking to us. he said it was just horrendously expensive to maintain the third star, and no profit in the restaurant. had to make money on other related stuff.

it's been a few years, but when we went to nice, the Chantecler
Hotel Negresco had no stars from the big M.
we had one of the grandest, most opulent meals ever. once a 3* Chantecler
Hotel Negresco just opted out.
a center table was roped off with a velvet cord. table for 8 was set for 3. a very grand elderly female arrived, with her two toy poodles. all 3 were seated, the pups on cushions. and she was served. did not, but should have asked who was that grand dame???

Philippe Legendre was the chef of the V from 99 to 2008
From 2003 to 2007 he had 3 stars
Got downgraded to 2 stars in 2007
Left in 2008 with still 2 stars
In 2008 new chef came called "Eric Briffard" (former of Plaza Athene and before at Robuchon Jamin as a "second")
Briffard keep the 2 stars but was never able to upgrade to 3 stars (I'm not surprised as the restaurant doesn't even worth 2 stars, it's not because the DR is very nice that they deserve their stars).
I don't understand why most people love this restaurant, I found the service to be very "average" (if I say 'bad service" are you all going to bite me ?? hihihi) (except one very good waiter that was assigned to other tables, unfortunately for us) and the food just good. (but no more than good)
for still a very nice DR and better food, the Meurice (and not Maurice or Mourice
will be perfect. (closed on week end)

The World's best restaurant is L'Ambroisie. Way better than any of the other Paris 3*.
Arpege is fine if you like carrots. But I'd not go there again. Nor to Astrance or Pre Catalan. All the others are fine, wonderful places but not up to Bernard Pacaud at L'Ambroisie.

Actually, Michelin starred restaurants are slipping in this sophisticated world of Gastronomy 2013.
Parisians and foreign foodies alike are discovering Bistro food, available at cutting edge little places run by younger, bolder chefs and they are replacing Michelins as the go-to places in Paris.
A lot more relaxed, less sauces and richness, these places are really a lot more enjoyable to me than the stodgy Michelins. Get with the modern times!

Michelin 3* restaurants in Paris
We opt for 2 and 3 star resto lunches. Much better value and we spend the afternoon walking off our wine.
