The Mandarin Oriental’s showcase restaurant needs little introduction. For years it has set the standard for service and cuisine and the breath-taking river views aren’t equally exceptional. The Chef, Arnaud Dunand Sauthier, has worked for renowned chefs such as Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Marc Veyrat in L’Auberge de L’Eridan, and Emile Jung at Crocodile. Expect only the best imported produce, such as Challans duck, Brittany langoustine and French milk-fed lamb. The wine cellar, too, is superlative.
