Restaurant "ALAIN DUCASSE au Plaza Athenee" Haute Cuisine Terrace "Hotel Plaza Athenee" Decor "PATRICK JOUIN" Chef "JEAN FRANçOIS PIEGE", For Commercial use Contact / "To taste luxury veggies in their natural environment — or as close to it as you can in Paris — try "La Cour Jardin", the Plaza Athenee Hotel's terrace restaurant, where the tables are interspersed with tomato plants. The restaurant — which operates under the supervision of French chef celebre Alain Ducasse — changed its menu earlier this year to emphasize vegetable dishes. "We put meat and fish aside so that the first ingredient that the client reads on the menu is a vegetable," said the restaurant's 26-year-old chef, "Sylvain Fouilleul". "We're not trying to teach clients how to eat, but we want to show them we can eat differently." Highlights include the "cocotte de quinori et legumes croquants," a crispy vegetable casserole, and the "fenouil confit au safran," light puffs of saffron-dusted fennel. The dessert menu is heavy on fresh fruits — raspberries, wild strawberries and, intriguingly, a "lemon in acid and bitter declension." At an estimated $120 per-person for lunch or dinner, drinks not included, La Cour is pricey. But the verdant terrace, which rings with the call of birds at play among the vegetables" (USA Today) (Archival Photo)
