L’Abeille “The Bee” at Shangri-La, Paris

L’Abeille – – a new find, but a wonderful return to a chef whose passion is one that I certainly cannot get enough of – – Chef Christophe Moret.  I had the sheer pleasure of meeting Chef Moret when I dined at Lasserre two years ago.  Once I experienced his cuisine, I knew I’d follow him wherever he was setting fire to food.  So, when I learned of his departure, I immediately sought him out and discovered a new “Paradise in Paris” – – Shangri-La’s L’Abeille.  We arrived and was seated at the most inconspicuous and elegant table in the dining area.  As we awaited Barry Douglas’ arrival, my anticipation grew stronger as I knew we were in for an amazing treat.
