Michelin Star Restaurants Paris – Le Pergolese
Michelin starred Le Pergolese is located in the posh 16th arrondisement just off of Avenue Foch. Many of its clientele live in the neighborhood and hold standing weekly reservations, so do book ahead. The dining room features a private room in the rear and works by contemporary artists.

The cod arrived in a cloud of saffron foam and shellfish garnished with zingy baby shiso leaves. Chef Gaborieau must’ve encountered the Japanese herb during one of his calm-seeking trips in Asia.
After refreshing our palates with pink grapefruit granite came another winner, tender pigeon breast served with sauce bordelaise made from port. The 2015 Chateau Pierrail the sommelier chose for us was the perfect match. The boeuf parmentier was also exceptional and paired beautifully with the red Bordeaux.
The staff made us feel at home from the minute we walked in. They were professional, knowledgeable about the wine, cuisine, and spoke English.
Info: Prices run from 50E for lunch and from 85E for dinner. One of the few Michelin starred restaurants open Mondays. Valet service.
