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.

Their specialty is wild game, and my venison was the best I've ever had. In other words, Pierre Gagnaire is an absolute must-eat-at in the heart of Paris. The price is of course steep, but a good meal is like a good symphony: well worth the price of admission.
I will be back.
Atmosphere - the saloon was nice and cozy, but also luxury looking. They definitely need to wash the rug immediately, and wash it at least 1-2 times per month or understand that a rather light (originally) rug is not generally a good idea for a restaurant floor.
Service - the staff was polite and nice and accommodating, but mutual understanding in english was not very fluent process and several details I've used to think were customary for this level of restaurant were missing - no interest in our potential dietary constraints, no napkin folding when going to the toilet, no cleaning bread crumbs off the table between courses, yes leaving my water glass empty in a couple of moments. I would evaluate the level of the service at definitely below 2 M. stars.
And a special note - this was the first restaurant with any kind of Michelin rating (not to even think of 3 stars) where I had to wash my hands with water cold as ice.
Overally - below expectations.
