Recommendations for Xmas Lunch in Paris?
 
Husband and I are going to be spending Christmas in Paris this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good lunch on Christmas Day?

Thanks!

Had a memorable Christmas dinner at the Ritz several years ago. I have never seen turkey served as beautifully. It was quite an event; albeit, an expensive one.

Ambassadeurs (Les): This month young chef Jean-Francois Piege takes over the kitchen of this restaurant at the Hôtel Crillon. Despite formerly being the head chef at Alain Ducasse's Restaurant Plaza-Athénée, he's not as well-known as many of his peers, except by Paris food lovers, who spread the word about his veal sweetbreads with chanterelles and chocolate cake with three differently flavored fillings. Assuming Piege's place is Christophe Moret, formerly the chef at Ducasse's restaurant Spoon, Food & Wine.

Perhaps M. Piege will restore this ornate restaurant back to Michelin three-star status.

Les Ambassadeurs: Has just reopened after a complete renovation that rendered one of the most magnificent dining rooms in the world even more beautiful. The elaborate marble-paneled walls and floors were restored, tables given skirts of poppy-colored moiré silk and armchairs reupholstered in taupe-colored velvet. The renovation coincides with the arrival of new chef Jean-Francois Piegè (ex Restaurant Plaza-Athénée), whose menu offers a light, sexy take on Haute Cuisine, with dishes like grilled scallops in a crushed truffle vinaigrette with a terrine of leeks.
