Paris, Top restaurants

Maison Blanche, A gastronomic restaurant

Of all the many incredible Parisian restaurants, Maison Blanche is without doubt one of the finer ones to try. The famous and gastronomic restaurant is situated above the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, on the prestigious avenue Montaigne in the 8th district. It offers an absolutely amazing skyline view over the west area of Paris. I loved it.

All I can say is that there is an exclusive, relaxing and absolutely wonderful atmosphere up there. The view over Paris is amazing.

The Dinner

The cuisine is of an upscale character, largely inspired by the Languedoc terroir.

The chef, Hervé Nepple, creates a highly ambitious inventive cuisine in collaboration with Jacques and Laurent Pourcel, multi-starred chefs at Jardin des Sens in Montpellier.

The starter: To begin with a little starter is being served
