Carré des Feuillants
Carré des Feuillants restaurant
Rue de Castiglione
Quartier de la Place-Vendôme, 1st arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“Located on the site of a 17th-century convent, next to the prestigious Place Vendôme, chef Alain Dutournier’s Carré des Feuillants opened in 1986 to much fanfare. It remains a stalwart of the Paris dining scene to this day. Boasting a minimalist, Alberto Bali-designed interior – four lounges arranged around an internal courtyard – menus reflect Dutournier’s respect for native products and flavours in streamlined, contemporary dishes. The likes of roasted sweetbreads of veal in an oyster sauce and grilled monkfish with French caviar and crisped potatoes arrive paired with remarkable labels and rare vintages amid a hushed, yet unstuffy atmosphere.” (Carré des Feuillants, 50 Best)
