Visited Eric Frechon’s restaurant Le Bristol (www.hotel-bristol.com) last Summer, and am so pleased to hear that it now has its third Michelin star, it’s the only restaurant in France to get one this year apparently. We had the summer tasting menu, which was in a class of its own, everything was perfect. Unfortunately I was so into the food I did not take enough pictures to truly capture the experience.
It was very expensive last year and now with the Euro exchange rate and its third star, it’s way out of most peoples price range (gents also require jacket and tie….argh).
This is my benchmark for culinary excellence, no wonder it is rumoured to be Nicolas Sarkozys favorite.

Thanks for letting us know about the Video, I have removed that link from the post. I have not seen it anywhere else. However I did find this one, which you may find interesting.

As a treat for our anniversary we went to Le Bristol in November 2011. We stayed the night. Simply wonderful.
I should say we had the tasting menu. Stunning.
