THE RENAISSANCE OF THE CRISTAL ROOM BACCARAT
Celebrated interior decorator Jacques Grange has restyled the restaurant whilst preserving the very soul of the legendary town house and home of Marie-laure de Noailles. At the bar on the first floor under a chandelier of 157 lights, guests can enjoy one of our trademark cocktails in the glass of their choice. A homage to the «crystal of kings», the «Louis» with cognac, apple, lime, ginger ale and mint leaf, bids a warm welcome to this royal enclosure. In the dining room, one wall is adorned with 576 crystal tiles that illuminate the space with ever-changing reflections. Chairs upholstered in velour show off a full palette of deep colors: pistachio, empire green, fuchsia and ruby red. On the dining tables, a variety of glasses - Harcourt, Mille Nuits, Vega and Mosaïque - are the ultimate expression of an art of entertaining that is admired the world over. At the heart of the small parlor, the soft light from the Sora chandelier designed by Eriko Horiki enhances the plasters from the manufacture placed on a console. The unique experience continues on the terrace, where eight guests can enjoy a more private lunch with a view over the Place des Etats Unis.

Baccarat. Besides a few obvious references to the region from where the brand originated from, like the revamped quiche lorraine or mirabelle plum soufflé, our master gourmet heads South to the Mediterranean with a favorite of Princess Grace of Monaco, baked monkfish with Colonnata lard, stuffed conchiglioni, and basil pistou. He then heads Eastward with a roast saddle of lamb served with dried fruit bulgur and harissa. On the dessert side, the mango Pavlova is sheer magic on the taste buds and a celebration of the very special relationship between Baccarat and the court of Russia. Other suggestions complete this invitation to a gourmet journey: each week, the chef takes pleasure in enhancing some of the great classics from French gastronomy. The supreme of roast chicken in sauce shares the same plate with mousseline of parsnip and nuts, with an added zest of aniseed emulsion. While the blanquette de veau (veal in white sauce) features an unexpected twist of coconut. The wine list also holds the promise of some amazing discoveries with any number of rare labels, including exceptional bottles like the magnum of Saint Emilion Grand Cru or a 2010 Château Saint-louis, an incomparable pleasure to taste in Baccarat glasses. At the Cristal Room Baccarat, the menu reflects the heart and soul of the venue and makes each moment spent there an unforgettable experience in the art of gastronomy. Before leaving, the Cristal Room invites you to visit the Baccarat museum and discover the grand fumoir of Marie-laure de Noailles, as designed by Jean-michel Frank in the 1920s.
