Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée

Media darling Jean Imbert thrives in the iconic luxury hotel on Avenue Montaigne. Together with a high-level kitchen team, the "chef to the stars" joyfully, almost mischievously, illuminates French culinary heritage. Dishes such as prawns "in Bellevue", royal duck with foie gras, truffled pullet and a selection of desserts enthusiastically presented by a duo of pastry chefs stand out on their menu. Sitting at the majestic marble guest table, surrounded by gilded moldings and chandeliers, it's hard not to fall under his spell.
