Simply Abu Dhabi XXVI

A fan of the finest fresh produce, Michel Reybier has opted for contemporary French cuisine inspired by the seasons at La Gabriel. Quality can be seen in every offering, and the respect for nature in no way excludes a certain gustatory fantasy. The 2016 Michelin Guide for France awarded two stars to Le Gabriel barely a year after the restaurant opened – an amazing token of recognition for the cuisine of its executive chef Jérôme Banctel. Borrowing culinary inspiration from all over the world, the menu provides a surprise for taste buds with an inspired reinterpretation of great classics. Jérôme Banctel offers an innovative culinary spice route journey, taking his diners to India, China, Japan and Vietnam through a series of must-taste dishes representing each of these destinations. Signature dishes include scallops, lemongrass-infused soup, vegetable dim sum, rã-yu vinaigrette and shredded beef, tapioca noodles and coriander. To cap off the experience at La Réserve Paris, the concierge service seeks to personalise every guest’s stay with a host of special gestures attuned to their tastes, preferences and pleasures. Example experiences include a private piano recital in the suite to accompany afternoon tea, a sneak preview of the exhibitions held regularly at La Réserve Paris apartments, a chance to create personalised custom-made fragrances with the help of a great nose of the Parisian perfume industry, or a romantic excursion on the Seine with a picnic lovingly concocted by the chef. The service offered by La Réserve Paris finds new expressions, with brand-new experiences or the chance to simply be spoiled with a range of surprises making every stay unforgettable. A stay at this hotel equates to a privileged, private side of Paris, with behind-the-scenes access to the historical landmarks and cultural hubs of the city’s vibrant life.
