Le Gabriel - La Réserve Paris is located in Paris's 8th arrondissement, at La Réserve Paris, 42 avenue Gabriel, Paris, 75008. The MICHELIN Guide lists its cuisine as creative. Inspectors introduce chef Jérôme Banctel's two menus celebrating his native Brittany and journeys across the globe, noting the lime-water cooking he discovered through Japan and Turkey. [1]
The restaurant is listed among the three-star restaurants of central Paris in the MICHELIN Guide France 2025. [2]
Overview
According to the MICHELIN Guide review, a few steps from the Champs-Élysées, the restaurant occupies the elegant, luxurious setting of La Réserve, a former 19th-century Napoléon III hôtel particulier reworked by Jacques Garcia; the dining room vies in refinement with gilded Cordoba leather and Versailles parquet. Two menus assert the chef's singular culinary personality: "Virée", a homage to his native Brittany, and "Périple", an invitation to travel the planet — to Japan but also to Turkey, where he discovered lime-water cooking and the incomparable textures it gives the produce; in season there is also a game menu, and à la carte at lunch.
