The Restaurant at Saint James Paris

"The hotel has just 48 guestrooms, but since it's also a private club, it has an impressive array of facilities including a Guerlain spa and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred chef"

"Highlights include a Michelin-starred restaurant (open to the public for dinner) and an adjacent library bar serves outstanding cocktails"

"Saint James also offers a classic French restaurant and a wood-paneled library bar lined with 12,000 books"

"The hotel is also a club, and the use of its classic French restaurant is reserved exclusively for members and guests"

"The Restaurant Adorned with palace-inspired paintings and bold Napoleon III decor, the restaurant off the lounge and library is open to the public for dinner and Sunday brunch"

"There's a superb restaurant; its outdoor terrace was once a Montgolfier airfield"

"Note: Le Restaurant is closed Saturday for lunch and dinner, and on Sunday only brunch is served, noon-4 pm"

"In the formal restaurant, Flavours, she orders the langoustine starter and steak main, I opt for foie gras and lobster and any romance that might have been in another life is soon smothered with mustard and washed down with wine"
