Le Pré Catelan
Creative · Modern French · Paris 16th · €€€€
Le Pré Catelan occupies a Napoleon III pavilion in the middle of the Bois de Boulogne, with a garden terrace that feels far from the city. Chef Frédéric Anton, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, has held three stars here for many years.
His cooking is creative but rigorous, often built around one main ingredient explored in several ways, with impeccable technique. In fine weather, lunch on the terrace is one of the great pleasures of Paris dining.
