In the nearly 1000-square-meter restaurant, tables are draped with white linen and romantically lit by candles, thus having dinner with your beloved ones here will surely be a pleasant and unforgettable experience. If you prefer enjoying some privacy and don’t want to be disturbed by other diners, the restaurant offers private themed rooms gently lit by chandeliers and decorated with wallpaper of three well-known landmarks in France, namely, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre. Dining in the private room will give you an illusion of traveling in the world’s romance capital.
Besides the beautiful environment, what guarantees the premium quality of the food served in this restaurant is the kitchen team led by Chef Christian Tetedoie, president of the Master Chefs of France. He was also awarded a single Michelin star in 2000 and became a knight of the Legion of Honor in 2006. Unlike many other chefs, Christian Tetedoie wears no hat. Instead, he’s decorated with something far more attractive: the Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France golden medallion, which is awarded every four years to the best craftsmen in France.
Waiting for the meals can be a headache for some diners, however, at this restaurant, you can wait while watching the chefs carefully prepare dishes in the open kitchen.
The best food should be served with top quality wines. Luckily, L’étoile restaurant boasts a huge wine cellar which it takes pride in.
