EPIC Dinner
Epicure, the 3-Michelin-starred restaurant at Le Bristol Paris, is a true temple of gastronomy. Chef Eric Frechon's tasting menu is a decadent journey through French fine dining, showcasing seasonal ingredients and innovative techniques. My recent eight-course meal at Epicure was an unforgettable experience. Each course was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation, from the amuse-bouche to the dessert. Highlights included the signature macaroni gratinéed with black truffle and foie gras, and the perfectly cooked fish with a light and flavorful sauce. The service at Epicure was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive. The sommelier expertly paired each course with a wine that complemented the flavors of the food. Overall, Epicure is a must-visit for any foodie visiting Paris. It's an experience that will stay with you long after the last bite. Be sure to make reservations well in advance, as this is a highly sought-after dining destination.

My daughter picked out the restaurant and just told me it is fine dining. I had no prior knowledge of the place or the hotel. No clue it had 3 stars. From the moment you step into the hotel you see the exceptional level of service. We were lead to the restaurant. From the first contact in the restaurant with the hostess until the last contact which happened to be with her, everything was exceptional: the service, the food, the menu. We decided on the tasting menu, and were not disappointed. They didn’t have a recommended wine pairing, so asked the sommelier to suggest 3 different wines. All 3 were excellent choices. The service was very attentive and each each course was explained. The place is very pricy but very worth it. Would definitely go back there when in Paris again.
Be the first to ReplyThe Best Meal of our Lives
My wife and I had the great privilege to dine at Epicure on Tuesday, February 20th. We had great anticipation for this meal as the Michelin Star rating and the reviews from critics, magazines, and diners speak great volumes about the experience. Despite the great anticipation we brought into the experience, the actual experience blew our expectations out of the water. I'll try to do it justice below: The Service Wow...from the start, the whole crew was so welcoming and kind to us. I loved the pre-dining survey and that everyone clearly paid attention and made sure to ask my wife how she was enjoying her first time in Paris. If either of us got up to use the restroom, someone was there immediately to pull the chair out and to let us know where to go (and someone was there promptly to pull the chair back out to let us back in). Saying more about the service, my wife and I truly loved the fun and humorous atmosphere that the Epicure team brought to the dining experience. We were not sure to expect from a 3 Michelin star dining experience, but it was certainly void of any stuffiness. We had so much fun throughout the whole event, and that truly amped up how memorable and enjoyable it was for us. By the end, it really felt like we were friends with the whole crew. And to close out the topic of service, we cannot say enough good things about our main server, Oisin. He was such a great, talented server for us for the entire dinner. And we could really tell he takes pride in delivering a great work product. The Food The food throughout our entire gastronomic adventure was truly outstanding. I can still remember vividly the presentations, the aromas, the textures, and above all else, the flavors from each dish. Again, we were not quite sure what to expect from a 3 Michelin Star meal - we went in knowing we wanted to do the tasting, but we were unsure if the meal would be too tilted to the gourmet side and would leave us unfulfilled. That worry was quickly eviscerated when we had the first couple dishes - while the dishes were all ultra high class and perfectly manicured, they were all extremely approachable and were clearly crafted to please all guests of the restaurant. If I had to pick one dish that stood out from the rest, it would have to be the Candele Macaroni with the black truffle, artichoke, and duck foie gras. I loved the texture and the flavor from the macaroni, but the best part of the dish was the 2 varied sauces on the plate. The presentation was beautiful with the sauces intersecting (but hardly interacting), and the flavors from the 2 sauces were very different and each created a unique bite when paired with the Macaroni. But, every dish was incredible and we really enjoyed each one. The "Chocolate from Ecuador" dessert was probably the best dessert we have ever had. I can still vividly remember the warmth and the flavor from the chocolate shortbread, cocoa nib praline, and hot chocolate espuma, which was paired so beautifully with the coffee flavors in the chicory ice cream. The Wine My wife and I decided to go with the wine pairing and we are so glad we did. I, for one, generally prefer cocktails or beer (generally makes for a better feeling the next day...), but I felt I had to go with wine at such a high class establishment. The wines had such a beautiful flavor and truly complemented the dishes of the tasting menu. And the team of Sommeliers was outstanding and accommodating throughout the whole meal. The meal at Epicure makes me want to drink at least a glass or two of wine now with my meals back home. Closing Chef Frechon, Oisin, and the entire team at Epicure delivered the best dining experience we have ever had in our lives. We hope we are able to return some day, but we'll certainly never forget this meal. We will be framing the menu and hanging it in our kitchen at home.

Ok. Keeping this short and to the point. Our experience at Epicure was beyond expectation. The food was nothing short of perfection - every bite - but what put this experience over the top was the service. For our table, the entire staff, and in particular Oisin, was warm, familiar, humorous and joyful. Not an ounce of stuffiness to be found here. It was quite possibly the best dining experience we have had end-to-end, and the staff here made it so. We look forward to returning as soon as possible.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best dining experiences in this trip!
This meal is one of the most anticipated dining experience that I have been waiting for as I have dedicated this week in Paris as the Bresse chicken week... And of course Epicure must be on our list. As usual, as I have made the reservation over a month ahead, we were seated at a nice quiet corner table as if we had a private area of our own, yet still able to oversee the whole restaurant. The menu consists of exquisite selection of meat and seafood dishes and as usual, we sampled a range of langoustines, caviar and the must order Bresse chicken. The Bresse chicken cooked in yellow wine is beyond satisfaction and it is definitely the best I have had in this trip (out of the four chicken meals). The tenderness of the chicken meat and the flavour that was brought out from the poached bladder is just unforgettable. Together with a 2005 Puligny-Montrachet, Louis Carillon et Fils, this is definitely the signature meal for this trip. Service level is at its top and everything lived up to its reputation.
Be the first to ReplyAmuse Bouche
So, three Michelin stars and dinner at the grandest of hotels and the most impressive of dining rooms. The tasting menu to demonstrate the skills and talents of the Chef. After sweet little canapes, we were treated to an Amuse-Bouche of creamed sea urchin, I think with a foam and a reduction. By coincidence, I’d had a couple of fresh sea-urchins from a fishmongers in Montmartre earlier that day, eating them outside the shop - they were salty, creamy, full of umami. The Amuse-bouche at Epicure was less of all three, so a true reduction. Some of the dishes were nice, including French caviar on creamed haddock and sorrel over foie gras. Although the latter did taste like the grassy burst you get in your face when lawnmowing wet and long overdue grass. Fun though. But as for the main courses, truffle shavings on three dishes out of five to me seems a little lacking in imagination. Two chicken mains, albeit originating from a large bladder mounted on silver chicken legs and paraded around the room, and no red meat? There was one dish, a coconut dessert, that I thought merited three Michelin stars. A chocolate half shell mimicking a top sliced coconut with coconut foam and coconut ice cream infused with lime and rum and tiny coconut shards, combining warmth and cold, varying textures of foam, crunch and cream all lifted by a mojito thread. And so, finally, there was a dish where the whole exceeded the sum of the parts, leaving me with a gentle Barbadian beach tune in my head as I ate, feeling a warm Caribbean breeze. However most of the rest I could have eaten at my local Bib Gourmand eaterie. That said, the only other thing that deserved three stars was the service. Smart, prompt but not overbearing, warm-hearted, witty, adept, all with a twinkle. The best service we have had, and whoever leads the team, well done. Finally, on leaving we were given a small loaf that had been baked in the Hotel bakery earlier that day, presented in a little drawstring bag by staff as a leaving present. We were hardly hungry going back to the hotel, and by the morning it was rock hard as evidenced by us repeatedly tapping it against the hotel wall. Amused our bouches, anyway.
Be the first to ReplyFabulous and Memorable Experience
The evening was a fabulous and memorable experience. We had the tasting menu which we thought was amazing, but we did struggle to finish. I was literally tasting a mouthful of food from each of the last few courses. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service was superb as it didn’t feel too formal or stuffy as it can in other Michelin starred restaurants. All staff were extremely professional and friendly, creating the perfect experience.
Be the first to ReplyFound a piece of hair
Found a piece of gray hair baked into their house made bread during the cheese course. I discovered it as I was about to bite into the piece. I showed the piece to one of the waitstaff. He didn’t even apologize or acknowledged; only thing he did was take the left over bread and bring out a new loaf of bread. By that time, I was grossed out by it, so I stopped eating the rest of the cheeses. This is a 3 Michelin star restaurant. I go out to fine dining often, it is a shame to see the lack of of cleanness but also no apology or acknowledgment from the staff regarding finding hair in the food. Additionally, an older, lead waitstaff sort of made fun of a newer, younger black waitstaff in front of us. We felt so uncomfortable that we began to defend him for making rude comments in front of us. It’s extremely unprofessional for the lead to be little a new employee in front of customers. I’d expect more from this caliber of the restaurant; not sure if I’d recommend this place as there are plenty of Michelin star restaurants in Paris Other than that, great food and good service.

Epicure is the 3-Star restaurant housed in the elegant Hotel Bristol. We were treated in an incredible act of generosity by good American friends. We ordered a la carte; a parade of preliminary tastes, breads, palate teasers. My entrée, 3 wide pieces of large macaroni filled with foie gras and truffles. My plat, chicken for 2 served in two courses cooked in a pig’s bladder and carved tableside. You had to be there! Other dishes equally elaborate. All beautiful to look at, to smell and to taste. A large (and full) room. Elegant settings. Responsive, practiced service, but with a friendly, light touch. Pre and post desserts with an ethereal chocolate preparation my dessert choice. A wonderful, near-matchless experience with wines I can only imagine the price. It is theater, and if food is not your thing, it is silly to even consider it. But it is a 3-Star experience available only to a few. You won’t find it outside of Paris.

We had the most amazing dinner at Epicure at the end of a long weekend in Paris with our friends. Every dish on our tasting menu was sublime, from the amuse, to the bread made with their own wheat, and all the way through to the second dessert, with many standouts in between. One person in our group is diabetic and has challenging dietary restrictions, and the restaurant embraced the opportunity to craft her a separate tasting menu that was equally amazing. Our sommelier picked a series of perfect wines to match our meal, and clearly enjoyed doing so. As good as the food was (and it was impeccable), the service from the entire team was if anything even better — attentive, patient, good humored, witty, and fun. It was a truly memorable evening, and I can’t wait to get back to try all the dishes we missed this time!!

Arrival immediate room allocation and staff on reception multi-lingual. The rooms were impecable. We arrived for a 2 night stay for a special occasion and that is exactly what we received. Every single member of staff are professional. A highly romantic dinner with the white tablecloths, an extra touch is the changing of napkins for the desserts. the food - exquisite- Elegant dining room for refined cuisine and an extensive list of wines to enhance the romantic evening. Dinner cost E390 including the wine which is a bit over the top but that is what you expect when you visit a restaurant of this quality. my favourite: black truffles featuring faux pasta made of onion served in a hollowed-out onion; Out of this world ! The selection of cheeses are endless. A special call out to Eric the chef: magnifico Eric
Be the first to ReplyExceptional, as always.
I've had the pleasure at dining at Epicure many times over the last ten years, having been fortunate to have stayed at Le Bristol on 15-20 occasions. As for this visit, as always the service was excellent. Having contacted the restaurant prior, they happily created a tasting menu customised to my dietary and allergy requirements. The food was exceptional, so much so I dined twice during my four night stay - with the second tasting menu being every bit as good as the first.

Epicure is a 3 Michelin Star restaurant and it is well deserved. It may not be the most cutting edge but it is outstanding for those who enjoy modern French without compromising integrity. The dining room is located in Le Bristol and it is grand and formal. In the summer and on a nice day, there is an opportunity to dine outside in the garden which makes it unusual. All the dishes were of the highest standard - best ingredients, thoughtful flavouring, well balanced acidity with structure and beautifully presented. The highlight for me was the caviar on potato puree and the desert (vanilla from Madagascar) were astounding dishes. The wine list was well thought providing diners with a range of options that will not break the bank. But the lasting memory of Epicure was the quality of service. Full of theatre but from staff who cared and knew their food and wine.

We had high expectations and they were met! We ordered the chef’s signature dishes menu and everything was perfect. The service was also great, attentive, efficient, accommodating. Can’t wait to go back when in Paris again.
Be the first to ReplyI must return!
Unfortunately my fairest day and half in Paris i wasn’t feeling well so I missed out on the best experience Epicure had to offer. Ryne on the3 other hand enjoyed 100%. My stomach was upset and each time I left a bit of food on my plate the servers asked if everything was ok or if something was wrong wit the dish. Ultimately I pulled one aside to let them know that I wasn’t feeling well and could they bring me smaller portions so I could at least taste even if I wasn’t able to finish completely. they accommodated this and it made the rest of the meal smoother. Service was excellent and thank you to Arona and also to the Irish trainee who was excellent but I can’t recall how to spell his name - maybe started with an O.

Eric Frechon and his team are fantastic, from the beginning to the end it was an amazing diner. All dishes bring you a new joy, simple ingredients are transformed to top dish. The service into the restaurant is top, a special thanks to the wine team which has made our experience unbelievable. Thanks all !

We love French food and French culture so decided to spend our anniversary here late last year. I had to make an account specially to leave this review because it needed to be said how wonderful our trip was. You won't be disappointed.

What to say... The place is amazing! It was just one of fantastic Parisean suprises. Never would expected such a lovely and relaxing place to have a glass of decent red wine in a posh 7th arrondissement. I would definitely visit it again.

We tried the tasting menu and it was stunning! Every piece was perfect, the langoustine however was the best. Can’t wait for the next time.
