The Restaurant at Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris

"The spaces brim with contemporary art—photos, paintings, collages—and there's a terrific bar, several beautifully decorated (if very expensive) restaurants, including the French-specialty La Cuisine, a smart boutique shilling art books and design objects, and a Clarins spa"

"This restaurant serves one of Time Out's 50 best dishes in Paris"

"House restaurant Matsuhisa Paris showcases Peruvian-Japanese cuisine from chef Nobu Matsuhisa"

"To wit, restaurant La Cuisine’s lavishly flamboyant chandeliers and the dazzling 1930’s style Le Bar Long, which actually has, well, no bar"

"Matsuhisa restaurant, by the globetrotting chef behind the international Nobu chain, highlights a contemporary gastro-Japanese cuisine, and the one Michelin-star Il Carpaccio gets consistently rave reviews"

"The spaces brim with contemporary art—photos, paintings, collages—and there’s a terrific bar, several beautifully decorated (if very expensive) restaurants, including Matsuhisa Paris by Nobu Matsuhisa, a smart boutique shilling art books and design objects, and a sexy Clarins spa"

"However, Pompeii-born chef Roberto Rispoli has taken traditional family recipes and made Il Carpaccio one of the very best Italian restaurants in Paris"

"The glamorously lit La Cuisine restaurant has a buzzy weekend brunch with carbs aplenty by patissier-in-residence Pierre Herme, and the Michelin-starred Il Carpaccio restaurant has Sicilian baroque interiors and a regional Italian menu"

"Famed chef Nobu Matsuhisa recently opened his first restaurant in France at the hotel and the ethereal Spa My Blend by Clarins, which features an infinity pool and a skylight that floods the below-ground space with natural light, is one of the best in Paris"

"Both the bar and the two restaurants face the garden terrace, where there is a pond disguised as a swimming pool, and in which, if you peer into it, you can see the real pool illuminated a level below"
