The Restaurant at Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg

"At the end of a long day meandering through the neighbourhood’s upscale boutiques, head to the spa for a personalised treatment, or have a bite to eat in chef Yannick Alleno’s restaurant, where a ‘patisserie library’ allows diners to add their own twist to the kitchen’s high-wire desserts"

"The elegant restaurant with its cheery golden details contrasts nicely with the black leather chairs and mod style of the bar"

"Other conveniences include a spa with steam showers and massage rooms, a fitness room, a gastronomic restaurant and a bar livened up by the sound of a piano at night"

"An acclaimed chef is enough to draw a crowd to any restaurant, but having a dessert library certainly seals the deal"

"The flagship of the Accor group has been recently redesigned in a clever update of classical style with a superb new restaurant overseen by star chef Yannick Alleno"

"Prices and standards have risen steadily over the past few years, but given the quality at hand and the competition, this not a bad value—or at least it will be once the restaurant has reopened"
