I purchased this book in France when it was first released and have kept it in excellent condition. This large-format book is a compilation of the legendary restaurant. A must-have for anyone involved in French cuisine. This book sells for over 200,000 yen at specialty cookbooks stores. The restaurant hailed as the most beautiful three-star establishment: 【L'Ambroisie】 This restaurant has maintained its three-star rating from 1988 to the present. The chefs are Bernard Pacaud and his son, Mathieu Pacaud. The Place des Vosges was built in 1605. Although the name was different at the time, the appearance has remained largely unchanged. L'Ambroisie, which opened in a corner of the square in 1986, beautifully fused its history with its cuisine. Their cuisine is difficult to describe. It combines classic and modern elements, with dishes that eschew unnecessary decoration... understated luxury... a harmony of tradition and elegance... like a modern take on classic cuisine... an image of constantly renewing the universal. They also use the finest seasonal ingredients, delighting gourmets. Therefore, unlike most three-star restaurants, they do not offer a set course menu, but rather an à la carte selection. The restaurant's current status is likely the result of their unwavering dedication to their work and their refusal to compromise. This spirit, passed down from father to son, remains unchanged through the ages. Time flows gently in this restaurant, nestled in the Place des Vosges.
