Arpege

Arpege delivers the most original vegetable-driven haute cuisine in Paris, surpassing even the legendary Taillevent in seasonal creativity. Chef Alain Passard removed red meat in 2001, a decade before Septime's bistronomy trend, and sources 100% of produce from his own three organic farms across France. Dine on 15-course menus that rotate daily, priced around €280, and taste why this 7th arrondissement temple has held 3 Michelin stars since 1996. It's 30% lighter than the typical grand restaurant, yet richer in flavor complexity.
