Among the celebrated grand restaurants in Paris — Guy Savoy at the Monnaie de Paris, the 18th-century mint on the Quai de Conti, where the artichoke and black truffle soup remains a widely celebrated dish in contemporary French cuisine. Three Michelin stars. A comprehensive expression of classical French grand dining available in 2026.
Why It Belongs on the List
Guy Savoy is the Paris restaurant for guests who want to understand what French grand cuisine is capable of at its peak. The Monnaie de Paris setting — high ceilings, Seine views, 18th-century stone — is the finest of any restaurant in the city. The artichoke soup with black truffle and mushroom brioche has been on the menu since the beginning and is the dish that most chefs who have eaten it describe as a benchmark. The service is ceremonial without being stiff. Three Michelin stars.
