- French Traditional, Best Restaurants: "Fairytales do come true. That is what dining at Le Clarence will have you believe. The chateau's decor was done by Prince Robert himself who tastefully recreated the atmosphere of his legendary Bordeaux estate here in the heart of Paris. For those exquisite wine pairings with lunch or dinner, you are in excellent hands here with Head Sommelier Antoine Petrus. There are over 120 outstanding winemakers to choose from on the menu representing mostly French but also international wine regions. And, of course, you have your choice of all the excellent Domain Clarence Dillon vintages as well including Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion and Quintas."
- Best for French Traditional Because: Giving yourself the experience of 'to the manor born' is what dining here delivers you, in addition to a superb, light-touch, traditional French meal.
- Recommended as Best Restaurants Because: When the occasion calls for chateau dining Le Clarence instantly transports you into that magic of French luxury and refinement, while retaining that at-home ease.
