Description

This bakery and restaurant is known for rich confections like its apricot-glazed chocolate tarts and chocolate-glazed domes of hazelnut mousse, all created by chef and owner Francois Payard. He is also in charge of the dining room, where you can get such updated French cuisine as caramelized sweetbreads with an orange-rosemary reduction. Of course you will have to order a dessert, but any guilt you may feel will likely be overshadowed by the charming ambience and attentive service.
