Le 39V






Le 39V on 39 Avenue George V is sleek and chic restaurant and sits on the rooftop of a beautiful building behind a discreet front door. 



Up the elevator we go...



Walking in the restaurant (from the private elevator) you meet a spacious bar, a terrace that sits in the middle, on one side a half circle shaped dining room greeting diners (mostly business men and women and the likes of those in Fashion) who eat and on the other side of the terrace, the kitchen - all paned in floor to ceiling windows.











Frédéric Vardon heads the contemporary French kitchen with a strong culinary background with two Alains: Alain Chapel (deceased in the 1990s) and Alain Ducasse - both 2 French 3 Michelin star Chefs.
