Restaurant offering Parisian haute cuisine.
A meal at Pierre Gagnaire is not a meal, but rather a culinary adventure that transports us away from the well-marked trails of the haute Parisian gastronomy. It starts with a map of which each of the proposals is described in its smallest detail on no less than six to eight lines. And indeed, as in Asia, the table will quickly cover a multitude of small plates at each service. And what strikes is the inspiration and unbridled creativity of the chef, as well as a permanent questioning of some form of gastronomic propriety: Pierre Gagnaire does not forbid anything, his palette of tastes is infinite, sometimes confusing as well. This is a red pepper syrup with a vanilla blown biscuit. With the risk of sometimes uneven cuisine, a logical conclusion of the above. Hence some (rare) disappointments for a table that is reserved to insiders and more broadly to a category of friends whose openness, fantasy and non-conformism are guaranteed, three qualities absolutely necessary to take full advantage of this very unusual restaurant.

That nine dessert set! Love it! If I'm being picky, my napkin was ironed properly, but the whole experience was quite good.
Commençons par les plus :
- le service en salle est impeccable
- la carte des vins avec des prix très accessibles
Ce qui nous a moins plus :
- les mets de la carte sont servis sous forme de petites portions « satellites » : on a l’impression d’avoir 5 plats en même temps et on perd le fil
- une avalanche d’amuses bouches et d’entremets qui laisse peu de place à ce qu’on a commandé
- aucun plat ne nous a fait vibrer (inhabituel pour un 3*)
- trop d’attente entre les plats
- le maître d’hôtel hermétique à nos remarques
Bref, on sort de table avec une impression d’accumulation qui rend le repas indigeste et fade.

But the menu options of Tasting set menu of mostly shellfish, a Truffle set menu, Game set menu and A’ la carte is crazy for the kitchen and the guest.
We went with the a’la carte option which ended up starters of 5-6 bites followed by an entree course with 5 different plates of food followed by mains with 3-4 plates and dessert as 9 plates is ridiculous, who can eat all this food ?
Having been to most of the 3* establishments in Paris over a number of years this would have to be the least enjoyable experience of all and a disappointment for a special birthday celebration.
To top it off a measly smear of chocolate on a plate with a birthday candle perched on top ????????♂️
