La Salle a Manger: the Hotel's gourmet Restaurant is in the
image of the Hotel, for it subtly blends the traditional and the modern. The
period furniture and crystal chandeliers, wide drapes and high ceilings give
an inkling of what is soon to come: duck foie gras, cepe and girolle
mushrooms, fine Charolais steaks or lamb from the Limousin region. The menu
is built on classical dishes made from the best the French countryside has
to offer. Chef Philip Delahave uses this structure as starting point and
goes on to renew and enliven the classics with creative touches of his own,
just the right amounts of sun-drenched herbs, vegetable stocks and exotic
spices. For example, he accompanies his pan-fried bass and crab with an
orange and fresh coriander bouillon and uses a bit of lemon rind to enliven
the mussels surrounding his sole filets and roasted gambas with taggiasche
olives.
Jardin Plein Ciel in Summer: The atmosphere on the terrace could
not be warmer. To be sure, it is an easy place to relax, with its fresh and
varied buffet, delicious grilled meats, 360° view of Paris and such a
profusion of greenery that you are likely to forget there is a tumultuous
city below.
The Bar: The Bar at theRaphael Hotel is a favourite spot
for all sorts of people. Businessman taking a break between meetings can be
found sitting next to tea time regulars. The Bar has the a warm woodwork,
velvet upholstered armchairs and intimate atmosphere so often associated
with upper class British clubs. Yet the drink that makes it famous is
neither tea nor sherry, it's the Mojito. Chief Barman Bertrand Merlette can
mix white rum and mint just like they do in Havana. But at the Raphael
guests drink their Mojitos with decidedly British composure. So much for a
rumba.
