Pierre Gagnaires restaurant in Paris is like a temple for those who worship food. Coming in at 6th in 2006’s restaurants of the world guide makes it the highest rated restaurant in France. The menus are seasonal to take advantage of France's rich bounty; Gagnaire demands perfection, and the chef has a dazzling way with flavors and textures. Stellar examples are crayfish cooked tempura-style with thin-sliced, flash-seared vegetables and sweet-and-sour sauce; and turbot cooked in a bag and served with fennel and Provençal lemons. Chicken with truffles comes in two stages -- first the breast in wine-based aspic and then the thighs, chopped into roughly textured pieces. The warm orange and brown color scheme is as one would expect, elegant with a hint of contemporary style and artistic panache. And service is as Gagnaire would demand, a model of perfection for others to follow. The quintisential Parisian fine dining experience Gagnaire is a man very much at the top of his game, reaping the rewards that come after decades honing his craft.
