114 Faubourg - Michelin 1-Star Restaurant PARIS
Located in a prestigious neighbourhood of Paris, 114 Faubourg effortlessly impresses visitors, often described as a first experience as much as it is a dining establishment. Boasting a Michelin star and two Gault & Millau toques, it is a jewel in the city's culinary crown. Whether for lunch or dinner, the venue proves to be a memorable choice, delivering on all the expectations one might have from a highly rated venue.
Inside, the restaurant has a distinctive style that immediately captivates. The space is dotted with imposing golden columns and vibrant, orange walls adorned with large luminous dahlia motifs. The atmosphere is chic and radiant, yet somehow manages to remain intimate and confidential. A broad staircase, the heart of the space, leads to a lower level where tables mingle with open kitchens, further enhancing the ambience.
Under the expert guidance of renowned Chef Éric Frechon, the culinary experience at 114 Faubourg transcends the ordinary. Frechon's signature style, combining tradition with a touch of originality, reassures diners that every meal will be a grand occasion. His revisitations of classic French dishes are nothing short of artistic masterpieces.
From starters to desserts, the carefully curated menu leaves diners spoilt for choice. A testament to Frechon's talent are offerings such as the salad of cèpes with truffle juice, duck paté en croûte with acidulated beetroot, and pigeon with foie gras in a crust of cereals. The saint-pierre and clams cooked on a flat caper butter white mousseline, and a dessert selection that's always tempting, ensure the culinary journey is an indulgent one. The Bristol-level service is also worth mentioning. The sommelier is always at hand to pair the perfect wine with each course, enhancing the dining experience. Reservations are strongly recommended for this popular establishment.
