As you’d expect from a Parisian import, Bar des Pres is one chic place to spend an evening. The bar and restaurant is sleek and glamorous (the Art Deco bar downstairs is also a looker) and the elegant food matches it perfectly. Chef Cyril Lignac showcases his Franco-East Asian style, and a fair bit of technique, with dishes like salmon, crispy rice and chipotle mayo; crab and avocado galette with madras curry; lobster roll with avo and baby gem; and satay beef fillet with lime condiment. There’s also more traditional Japanese sushi and sashimi on offer and if you’re a fan of classic French puds, you can indulge in profiteroles with vanilla ice cream, chantilly cream and chocolate sauce and vanilla & praline millefeuille.
