At Restaurant Paul Bocuse, there’s a desire to make a sustained effort to learn how to do things properly, to improve and to leave nothing to chance for a truly flawless end result.

This is an ever-present objective, guiding every decision and every action taken to ensure that guests at Restaurant Paul Bocuse can enjoy genuine perfection.

In the kitchen and the dining room, precision is everything. Flawless execution requires exacting standards, absolute accuracy and the utmost respect for rules and conventions. Once again, perfection and excellence are the focus here.

Respect for people and respect for ingredients: Paul Bocuse’s mantra is reflected in every aspect of the restaurant.

Here, there’s a respect for diners, staff and suppliers and a respect for the very finest ingredients to ensure that the recipes in which they feature provide a genuinely unique culinary experience.

Cooking is the epitome of generosity and sharing.

It’s about spending time to benefit other people, choosing ingredients, preparing and serving a dish, all while focusing on the enjoyment and the well-being of the people round the table. Generosity came naturally to Paul Bocuse: from helping his friends and showcasing the chefs he had trained to ensuring that his staff enjoyed the best possible working conditions, he always put others first.

At the very highest level, cooking is more than a mere job: it’s a passion.

It requires a desire to excel, a quest for innovation and constant creativity to produce dishes which stand out.

Taught to all new arrivals, this value is underpinned by the restaurant’s long-standing tradition of hospitality. Over the years, it has become a genuine art form, as proved by the attentive service received by each and every person as they step inside the restaurant: they are given a welcoming smile and a friendly greeting before being escorted to their table.

It is also evident in the restaurant’s elegant, comfortable surroundings and in all the details which are an integral part of a meal here. All of this ensures that everyone feels incredibly comfortable here and wants nothing more than to come back to this truly unique place.

Inspired by Paul Bocuse himself, there’s no pretence, no ostentatious luxury and no stuffy service here.

Everything we do ensures that all our diners, whatever their background and wherever they are from, feel at ease and at home: they are welcomed with a smile and are given attentive service. Even the dishes served reflect this approach, showcasing quality ingredients in all their authenticity.

Perhaps the most important value of all: throughout his life, Paul Bocuse shared his skills and passed on his extraordinary knowledge to those around him: commis chefs, apprentices, colleagues.

This tradition lives on thanks to those who have followed in his footsteps; they are committed to ensuring that everything which makes this unique and modern restaurant so outstanding is passed on to the next generations who work in the kitchens and the dining room.
