Located on the seventh floor of the elegant and stylish Peninsula, with a stunning panoramic view, L’Oiseau Blanc not only gives you visual bliss, you also experience a culmination of professional precision that truly defines high-end service.  With Chef Sidney Redel piloting this high-flying “bistronomique” experience and Mr. Rodolphe Protat-Koffler’s graceful and impeccable aptitude construing courses, the experience is one to be repeated, and repeated it was.

When we decided to stop in at The Peninsula for lunch, we had no idea the encounter was the beginning of an incredible relationship that kept us coming back.  During our lunch at the Peninsula, we met the assistant food and beverage director, Mr. Gian Muller who encouraged us to visit LiLi and L’Oiseau Blanc.  His recommendation to do so paid off and we were hooked.

Our initial visit was stunning as a glorious sunset warmed the Paris sky and Chef  Sidney wowed us with an incredible meal.  The final touch was the magnificent Effile Tower lighting up the night as more Champagne flowed and an invite for lunch was extended.  This wasn’t a typical invite as I was on a mad search for “Cuisses de Grenouille” and Chef Sidney offered to prepare a special dish for us.  That was all I needed to hear and lunch was on. But first, dinner!!!
