Chef Philippe Peretti’s proudly by-the-book French cooking has been a feature of the city since 1997, so why try and change it? The décor, like the food, doesn’t sway into the innovative – dark wood panels, traditional furniture and white tablecloths give the dining room a traditionally elegant feel. The well-seasoned Burgundy snails are a treat, as is Philippe’s special chocolate soufflé. If you’re searching for the classical French experience, look no further.
