Food and drink at Montalembert
- Hotel restaurant Le Restaurant is where chef David Maroleau serves up wonderful Modern European cuisine – deep-fried eggs with a Parmesan emulsion, honey-glazed pork rib with purple chicory – to a chic crowd. The neutral decor of oak panels, cream walls and flooring allows the food to rightly take centre-stage.
- Dress code Think elegant and dark.
- Top table If it’s a sunny day or warm evening, ask for a table out on the terrace.
- Last orders The restaurant closes at 10.30pm, though you can carry on drinking in the bar till at least 1am.

In the know
Our favourite rooms
We adore the eighth-floor suites not just their photographer-friendly views of the Eiffel Tower, but for their wonderful, apartment-like feel. You’ll want to take the super-comfortable Christian Liaigre sofabed home with you. The Contemporary and Classic rooms, though of bijou Parisian proportions, are beautifully decorated. All come with huge windows for surreptitious people-gazing.
Packing tips
Bring your loosest skirts or trousers – with L'Atelier du Joël Rubuchon and Pierre Gagnaire's Gaya right next door, you’re going to want to seriously indulge.

From the Guestbook…
Cosy and delicious restaurant two streets away called Cinq Mars. Very romantic, with heaps of candles and fairy lights for a very flattering lighting effect. Must try the chocolate...
