“Louis, the chef, made them lunch of les petits farcis and morue à la Niçoise made with fish he’d caught himself, earlier in the morning, followed by fresh fruit salad in Cointreau and two bottles of Brut Imperial.

The surroundings are hushed and opulent, the clientele sophisticated, the atmosphere exclusive.MoreLess
