Paris

Do you have any recommendations for restaurants in Paris that are taking a modernist approach to cooking?

Thanks

Modernist cooking in France is an interesting thing. It is very much relative to classic French cooking. That being said, there are a few restaurants starting to use Modernist cooking. Gagnaire's restaurant is Modernist in composition and complexity but still has a tradional feel. Thierry Marx has a new restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental. Le Pré Catalan is another I'd recommend. And there's a younger chef at Agapé Substance who is good too.

Pick up The Food Lover's Guide to Paris by Patricia Wells she has a favorite chef whose name I can not remember but loved the food went their a few times.

Its an old book 1999 and hopefully still relevant.

If not its a great read about Paris.
