Atelier Crenn - San Francisco
French-Californian cuisine that stays fresh with inventive dishes, most of them superb
Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen - Paris
A beautiful setting in the middle of Paris with solid modern French cuisine that occasionally is a bit heavy
Christopher Coutanceau - La Rochelle
Stellar French seafood cuisine in a beautiful setting. Some audacious flavor combinations, great service and an excellent wine pairing - a true three star meal
Cenador de Amós - Villaverde de Pontones
A few excellent dishes and a great wine pairing don’t justify the trip to this out-of-the-way restaurant in Northern Spain. Much of the food and the service were underwhelming
Les Prés d'Eugénie - Eugénie-les-Bains
Seasonal, light, expertly prepared French cusine in a palatial setting with wonderful service
Auberge du Vieux Puits - Fontjoncouse
Beautifully presented, delicious dishes in the Languedoc region of France: works of culinary and visual art
L'Oustau de Baumanière - Les Baux-de-Provence
Lovely cuisine inspired by Provence. Some dishes superb, most pretty good

A firework of spices and flavors, but also uneven and an overwhelming number of dishes. Not your typical French fine-dining restaurant

Delicious tasting menu with Swedish and Japanese influences, and a well-thought-out overall experience
Zilte - Antwerp
Amazingly precise cooking drawing the best from all ingredients

Noma - Copenhagen
Tasting menu at the “world’s best restaurant” that’s amazing technically, but sometimes at the expense of deliciousness

Technically amazing and clever tasting menu - several dishes made out of just one or two ingredients

Rustic mountain hut cooking, turned up to 11. Deceptively simple, but very delicious
Flocons de Sel - Megève
Cooking inspired by the beautiful mountain setting, but thoroughly novel
Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc - Courchevel
Highest three-star Michelin restaurant, only open four months per year. Gourmet versions of alpine food
Maison Lameloise - Chagny
Great food, perfect service and excellent wine in the Burgundy region of France
Georges Blanc - Vonnas
Three Michelin stars since 1981, with prices that match. Unfortunately, the food does not
Épicure - Paris
Fancy, high-end French cuisine in a fancy, high-end hotel. Great service, but only a few standout dishes
