Though some may be discontent with the price, just about everyone that comes to this restaurant is content with the taste and display of dishes by head chef Alain Passard. The menu consists mainly in vegetables and seafood. Once keen on lamb and beef, Passard has since turned his back on red meat for healthier (and some may tastier) options. It’s said that all of the vegetables used in the restaurant are picked from Passard’s own garden. The wine list is long but the restaurant is small, so you may end up sitting with the wine in the cellar. Reservations here are a must because this place is as popular as it is pricey and delicious.

Wow - amazing! Taken here for lunch and was intrigued to find out what a 60 Euro beetroot tastes like. It was fabulous!

Without question, Arpege is the finest restaurant anywhere. The food is startlingly original, yet always delicious and never intimidating. Service is flawless, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This is the kind of place that makes you glad to be alive at a time when Chef Passard is in his kitchen. Everything I've ever eaten there, in five visits, has been memorable, including the single most perfect meal of my entire life. Worth every penny.
