Splurge at Restaurant Guy Savoy During the Summer Olympics<\/p>\n

While all eyes are on Paris<\/a> and the Summer Olympic Games, television news cameras will be trained on venues near the Seine River in the heart of the city. In the midst of the action on the Left Bank quai <\/i>(river bank) facing Notre Dame is the large domed La Monnaie de Paris building. The Monnaie (\u201cmoney\u201d in English) is historically where French coins were minted for centuries. It now houses a fascinating museum on currency and offers a timely exhibit, Gold, Silver, Bronze\u2014A History of the Olympic Medal<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Also in La Monnaie de Paris<\/strong> is another French treasure\u2014Restaurant Guy Savoy, a temple to haute gastronomy. If budget permits, and you can snag a table, this will qualify as one of your Top Ten Parisian Experiences. Since he opened his first Paris restaurant in 1980, Savoy has set the standard for an immersive, mouth-watering, mind-boggling dining experience.<\/p>\n

In the spring, I had the good fortune to partake in a sublime lunch there with a good friend who worked in the champagne business. We\u2019d both known Guy for decades and were looking forward to a memorable afternoon. We were not disappointed. Our meal began when a server rolled over a trolley displaying a half-dozen bottles of different French champagnes and asked if we\u2019d like to choose one to enjoy as an aperitif. My answer, \u201cOui, bien sur<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the first sip of champagne to the last bite of dessert, the experience was transporting\u2014excellent attentive service, luxurious surroundings with world-class art on the walls, a close-up view of the Seine River from the large window adjacent our table, and an unforgettable meal.<\/p>\n

There are prix-fixe options with many courses, but we chose to order \u00e0 la carte. I asked for a written record of my meal, which was presented typewritten in a beautiful artistic folded card.<\/p>\n

Chef Savoy describes his philosophy: \u201c<\/span>For me, the most important thing is the taste\u2026the respect of the product in its originality\u2026to bring your own sensitivity, your heart, to bring out all that makes the uniqueness of each chef. Cooking is magical; it has been 50 years since I started in this profession. I am still amazed by the magic of transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the Paris Summer Olympics, Restaurant Guy Savoy will be open for lunch and dinner, from July 27th<\/sup> through August 10th<\/sup>, Monday to Saturday, <\/b><\/p>\n

A special lunch menu, \u201cNe cherchez pas\u201d from Noon to 2 PM, offers Seven Courses for 260 euros (with four glasses of wine, it\u2019s 335 euros). Either way, a great price.<\/p>\n
