Overview
According to the MICHELIN Guide review, René Lasserre (who died in 2006) came to Paris as a teenager to learn the trade and raised his restaurant to the status of an institution: for more than 80 years the dining room has displayed a luxurious decor of columns, planters of orchids and green plants, silver tableware and ornaments, crystal chandeliers and Chinese porcelain; the famous opening roof, which floods the tables with light as the seasons change, adds to the magic. The Guide tags it as an "iconic address". [1]
