LE PRÉ CATELAN

初めてのフランス訪問での思い出にと、2ヶ月ぐらい前に日本から予約しました。
フランス語はもちろん英語も十分な能力ではないと思ったので、コミュニケーションをより良くするために Google 翻訳を使ってコミュニケーションをお願いしました。
申し出を快く受けてくださり、ディナーの間、4時間あまりずっと Google 翻訳でやり取りをしていただきました。
普通なら嫌な顔されてもおかしくないですが、逆にチャレンジするかのように笑顔で楽しそうにやっていただけたのは、こちらとしてはとてもありがたかったです。
お料理は伝統的なフランス料理を踏襲するというのではなく、日本の だし や わさび などを挑戦的に使っておられ、ちょうど日本のおまかせ料理あるいは創作懐石のような構成でした。1皿ごとに驚きや面白みがあり、大変楽しかったです。特に1皿目のウニを使った前菜は、これまで食べたことのない濃厚でまったりとした美味しさでした。
お料理も素晴らしかったですが、
何より素晴らしかったのはスタッフのキビキビとした動きと気配り、お客さんに対する親切親愛なおもてなしではないかと思います。日本はおもてなしの国と言われますが、このお店にかなうようなところは、日本ではなかなかないと思います。
フランス最後の夜にとてもいい思い出ができました。妻ともどもとても感謝しております。
フランス語ができない外国人の方でもこのレストランなら十分に楽しめると思います。

We didn’t know what we were in for when we booked a lunch at Le Pré Catelan, and boy howdy were we blown away by what we experienced!
Delightfully nestled in parc du bois, we enjoyed being surrounded by natural beauty and people walking, hiking, biking etc.
The food and service were top notch. We opted for a 10 course lunch service (down from the 12 option). The quality of food throughout was meriting of top dining accolades. The sommelier also matched several wonderful glasses to go along with various courses- rare and exceptional selections.

Be sure to dress up well, else you’ll stand out like a sore thumb!

A Gastronomic Delight at Le Pré Catelan, Paris
As a seasoned restaurant reviewer, it's rare to find a place that truly captivates your senses. Le Pré Catelan in Paris does just that. Here's my take on this gem in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne.
What I Loved:
The Culinary Artistry: The dishes here aren't just food; they're culinary masterpieces. The flavors are a bold dance of tradition and innovation – it's like experiencing a symphony of tastes with each bite.
The Setting is a Dream: Nestled in a 19th-century building, the restaurant oozes elegance and charm. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, making you feel like royalty in a modern fairytale.
Service that Stands Out: The staff here are more than just attendants; they're like culinary concierges. Knowledgeable, attentive, and with an eye for detail, they made my dining experience effortlessly smooth.
A Legacy of Excellence: With three Michelin stars under its belt, Le Pré Catelan isn't just good; it's phenomenal. This is a place where quality and perfection are not just aimed for – they are achieved.
Seasonal Surprises: The menu here is a dynamic canvas of flavors. Changing with the seasons, it offers a fresh and exciting culinary journey every time you visit.
The Single Downside:
The Price Tag: Excellence comes at a cost. The prices at Le Pré Catelan are steep, making this more of a special occasion spot rather than a regular haunt. But trust me, it's worth every penny for those moments you want to cherish forever.
Final Thoughts:
Le Pré Catelan is more than a restaurant; it's a celebration of the finest in French cuisine. It's a place where every dish tells a story, every bite is a memory, and every moment is steeped in culinary bliss. Yes, it's an investment, but for those special moments, it's an experience that's truly priceless.

It’s a Michelin 3-star restaurant, surely it deserves 3 stars.

Either taking a 4 hour chemistry class or attending a heavy funeral in a restaurant is a memorable experience. All courses are made of different forms of salt in creative ways. The only non salty dish is the Le Fromage, which is made of heavily greased toothpaste.

Recommend if you’re having Covid-19 loss of taste.

Good spot for a tasting menu. Dress code was all over the place for dinner. The only critique I have is how long it takes for courses to arrive - our dinner lasted nearly 4 hours but most things tasted lovely. Service was good for the most part but had some kinks
