La Cristal Room Baccarat is the restaurant inside the Baccarat Museum on the Place des Etats-Unis, the « United States Square ». This is one of those absolute not-to-be-missed restaurants while you're in Paris and not just because Baccarat is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. The restaurant belongs to star-chef Guy Martin but he allows the young, talented Adrien Manac'h to run the kitchens. The menu includes choices of glazed rabbit and rosemary smoked Buffalo Mozzarella, then the Harcourt for dessert, created especially for this 250th anniversary celebration of Baccarat and served in the emblematic Harcourt crystal glass (it's lots of wild-strawberries on a pistachio-almond soft, moist cake). And although the cuisine is every bit the haute-cuisine that one expects from a Guy Martin restaurant, you may hardly notice it, so besotted will you be by the crystal palace setting...crystal chandeliers, crystal glassware, Baccarat tableware and cutlery.
