We had previously been to the Epicure before their recent remodeling. The restaurant is now set with a view of the hotel's interior courtyard - perfect for Spring! The food was outstanding, with inventive combinations and flavors. It was everything you'd expect in this type of restaurant. But what really stands out is approachable service. Each dish was carefully described,... More

Had an amazing 3-hour lunch here. I've eaten in a total of six 3-star restaurants over the past six years, and this one was by far the most enjoyable. Unlike the stiff, unsmiling formality I've encountered at other 3-stars, the atmosphere at Epicure was warmer -- like the staff wanted you to have fun while enjoying the exquisite cuisine. As...

We had a wonderful evening at L’Epicure this past weekend. The servers go out of their way to please their diners. Now, many might think the waiters aim to please bc that is how they justify the high prices… this concept is completely incorrect. They even changed one of my sorbet/pallet cleansers when they saw I didn’t care for the... More

Dear Guest, It is such a delight to read your detailed comment about your recent experience within our restaurant Epicure.

Words cannot do justice to the fabulous restaurant Epicure. Dinner began with a glass of champagne and an amuse-bouche that was a work of art. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented, so much so that several diners, myself included, felt compelled to take photos! The service was impeccable and well paced. My wife and I are celebrating our 40th... More

My husband and I read some of the Trip Advisor reviews and decided to try Epicure. It is a gorgeous restaurant in a fabulous hotel, Le Bristol.

At the first day of our trip we had a dinner in Epicure. It is well known that France is very famous about their restaurants. It is all true. Maybe the best tasted chicken i ever had!!! The wine was in the perfect temperature and really good.
