A key player in the city’s dining scene for over a decade, Chef Paul Pairet’s brasserie never gets old. Lovely service, great music, a terrific wine list and bags of French joie de vivre make dining here quite an experience. The clean, modern room in a former bank circa 1922 is dotted with 18C French-inspired furniture. The menu offers a vast choice of French classics, some displaying a subtle Asian twist, some in sizes meant for sharing.
