Built as a hunting pavilion for Napoléon III, this restaurant, tucked away in the Bois de Boulogne, is undeniably romantic. The dining room, with curved glass windows and sumptuous crystal chandeliers, overlooks a sweeping lawn lined with centuries-old trees, and a brigade of minutely attentive waiters stands at the ready. Since the arrival of chef Fréderic Robert, La Grande Cascade is one of the best restaurants to sample the Escoffier-inspired Grande Cuisine that won France its original gastronomic laurels. Cheeses come from Quatrehommes, and an expert sommelier creates a superlative wine list. During good weather, meals are served on the beautiful terrace. Open daily. Accessible only by car or taxi.
