L’Astrance, 4 Rue Beethoven, 75016 Paris, France
3 Michelin Star restaurant in Paris. Best most underrated 3 star possibly in France. Been there a few times and each time new innovative dishes on, full of surprises! Cant speak highly enough of the chef Pascal Barbot. Love the Asian influence in his cooking too! Find out more here.
