Mike: As someone who's not been to L'Ambroisie but is heading there next month...how would you recommend ordering in order to have the best possible experience. I guess I should mention that I don't speak French, but haven't had any problems in other three-stars in Paris. I'd appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks.

I gave them L'Ambroisie as one of three or so to ask them to recommend (I believe L'Astrance was also on there). They recommended L'Ambroisie and were able to secure a reservation; trust me, I'm thrilled. In thinking it over, though, I was thinking that I'd prefer something a bit more similar to Gagnaire (and your recommendation is a good one)...but I'm happy either way. It's a good problem to have.

Hi there everyone. I'm heading to Paris in a month and was looking forward to returning to Pierre Gagnaire; unfortunately the restaurant is going to be closed when we're there. Any thoughts on a substitute? My hotel has recommended L'Ambroisie...my tastes, though, are more in the WD-50/Gagnaire realm. If anyone can recommend a Gagnaire-type substitute I'd appreciate it, or if people think I should stick with L'Ambroisie I'm more than willing to do so. Thanks in advance for any help!
