TABLE TALK The French capital is famed for its noteworthy chefs. Madeleine MurrayLyons samples some of the best restaurants in the city
Parisian chefs are known as some of the best in the world, thanks to the global appeal and reputation of French cooking, but also as a result of the top gourmets’ efforts in the field of culinary wizardry. Indeed, in 2010 gastronomy was declared by Unesco to be part of France’s ‘intangible cultural heritage’. While the trendiest food hotspots in recent years might be Tokyo or the Nordic region, the chefs of the French capital can be counted upon to deliver the highest quality cuisine that is innovative while remaining true to the country’s traditional dishes. From three Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic to Cyril Lignac, a celebrity chef on the rise, the cuisiniers from Paris will astound and delight in equal measure. globalblue.com
