Le Mandarin Oriental, Paris : Lunch at Le Camelia
If you open the Curnonski or Escoffier cook book, you’ll find sophisticated complex and rich meals that combine tradition and the know how of a skilled chef. It’s tasty, its heavy, it bears a very long complex name. Great Chefs like Alain Ducasse for example eventually...
