A luxury restaurant in La Monnaie de Paris, a building which is part of the national heritage ? That’s the challenge taken on by Guy Savoy, a chef with 3 stars in the Michelin guide. Facing the Seine, this gem of architecture entrusted to Jean-Michel Wilmotte contains an elegant apartment in which the architect has preserved the rhythm of the rooms and the layout of the space. At the entrance to the restaurant, a few words from Guy Savoy in neon : “Cooking is the art of instantly transforming ingredients steeped in history into joy”. Joy which is experienced while tasting each of his dishes offering perfect presentation and spell-binding flavours. Guy Savoy à la Monnaie de Paris, 11 quai de Conti, Paris 6 (01 43 80 40 61).
