LE RESTAURANT GUY SAVOY

Place is good

Good food

I have dined at many Michelin restaurants in NY, San Francisco and Paris and they have all been very impressive. I was in Paris for a short trip and a local friend strongly recommended Chef Guy Savoy. "Chef Savoy has the passion that it takes to have 2 and 3 star Michelin ranking for decades" The close friend has admired the Chef since he started at rue_Troyon years ago.

I never imagined that Chef Guy Savoy would pull off a dinner that would outclass and eclipse all the other famous restaurants in such a grand fashion.
The elegant 18th century Monnaie de Paris building, with views of the Seine, was a magnificent backdrop to the dining experience.

We were greeted at the door by a warm and friendly Chef Guy Savoy.
Despite being world famous, he took the time to make us all feel at home. He came by a second time later to make sure the dishes were served properly. That is passion.
His assistant director, Monsieur Tiago Martins, was instrumental in making the whole evening unforgettable.
He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the intricacies of fine foods and wines.

The dinner was magnificent. Every dish reflected
Chef Guy Savoy's passion and love of fresh local ingredients.
Every herb, every spice and every sauce created a magnificent gastronomic experience.

With a view of the Louvre and the Seine from the private Académies Dining Room, we started with Colors of Caviar with smoked sabayon.

The balance of flavors and textures in his Signature Artichoke Soup with black truffles was extraordinary. The truffled mushroom brioche elicited praises from everyone (our table had very hard-to-please food connoisseurs).

Raw/cooked lobster with coral bearnaise and vigneronne bisque was exquisite.
Goujonettes of giant turbot were succulent.
Vasco de Gama Duck was amazing.
Desserts like Earl Grey Sorbet were another trip into gastronomic heaven.

To top it off, we got to meet Chef Guy Savoy in the kitchen and see his staff passionately create masterpieces of art right in front of our eyes. Monsieur Martins' staff made sure all our needs were met. Our shopping bags were quite numerous ( there were a lot of bags! ) and were well taken care of.

Chef Guy Savon had started his Restaurant as a dream and a passion years ago. His stratospheric Michelin ranking has lasted for decades (elevated to 3 Stars in 2002). Chef Guy Savon was named best chef in the world by La Liste recently in 2022.
Chef Guy Savon deserves 3 Michelin Stars!

It’s hard to put into words how this experience was. Perfection? We were welcomed in by the chef and his team, with all happy and merry faces. Such good vibes!
Eating the chefs tasting here is like going on a journey, with highs and lows, ups and downs. I also opted for the wine pairing and each surprise was always so delightful. I had been to a couple of 3 Michelin star restaurants, but the personal attention we received was impeccable and bar none gave the most elevated experience. They also made sure you were at your fullest when you leave the restaurant. Some of the highlights were the truffle soup and the amazing number of desserts you can select from the cart (if you can even fit in any room at the end)! The meat changes, we had guinea fowl with unique sauces that toned down the gaminess of the meat. So enjoyable. A must book for Paris!

Very nice
