There is a reason this is one of the most renown restaurants in the world. If you are one of those people that have to have the staple dishes, go ahead and have the lobster pasta and a steak. My recommendations: go with small side dishes, and a lot of them. Trust the staff, the are knowledgeable and with a little guidance they will create the culinary experience you came for. The wines and atmosphere are great as well. This is a well organized institution of quality food that is made with love. If you didn't made a prior reservation- no worries- just go to the younger sister restaurant next door- Le vin Papillon, they will take you in.
