Restaurant Stephane Carbone

Chefs can be forgiven for being cranky; they have to work on their feet for long shifts in hot, confined spaces and always seem to be yelling at each other. Stephane Carbone, however, exudes warmth and hospitality, and the food he produces at his Michelin-starred restaurant reflects his welcoming persona. Request a table close to the front or outside in temperate months. Somewhat reminiscent of a corporate hotel lobby, the décor features dark teak floors, orange or gold carpeting, taupe tablecloths and abstract art on the walls. However, the result is a surprisingly warm and comfortable environment. If anything, the dining room’s unremarkable appearance is an ideal backdrop for the sophisticated, classic French cuisine served there.
