Anecdotally, have any of you foodie travelers managed to dine at Michelin star restaurants in Paris in the last 2-3 months (during big waves) without catching COVID? Please share how you went about it if you did or also please share if you got infected as well. Multi-hour dinners indoors with no mask mandates sounds almost undoable but i know France has much better mitigation measures than the U.S.A.
Thanks in advance. Hoping we can somehow salvage this trip and not lose thousands on a cancelled air ticket

We did a Paris trip around Christmas break, and visited quite a few Michelin Star restaurants that were all packed/full during the holiday season. Most were spaced out. Some are not. We had no issues/COVID, as we were personally okay with the risks of traveling and dinning out without mask with other people.
No one on Flyertalk should change your mind to your personal risk assessment for traveling.
If you end up going, I hope you have a great gastronomic experience and share which one was your favorite. We highly recommend Palais Royale restaurant if you have time (one star, but had more creativity and flavor profile than a 3 star, Le Cinq).
