While celebrating their 20th anniversary, the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and its panel of 1,080 international culinary experts, held their annual award ceremony in London, on July the 18th. According to this highly esteemed panel, Le Clarence is now considered the 28th best restaurant in the world and the 2nd finest restaurant in France.
Le Clarence’s identity is born out of a magical recipe. The main ingredients include the audacious concoctions of a seasoned “rebel” Chef, Christophe Pelé, mixed in with the vision of a daring entrepreneur, Prince Robert of Luxembourg, President & CEO of family company, Domaine Clarence Dillon. Together, in November 2015, they created a unique blend of instinctive, brilliantly executed modern cuisine, juxtaposed with the warm traditional charm of a French chateau.
Housed in an elegant 19th century mansion located in Paris, only meters away from the most famous avenue in the world, the Champs Elysées, Le Clarence is situated at the epicentre of the city of lights’ Golden Triangle and thus in the exalted heart of European culture and the global luxury goods industry.
It is with tremendous joy and pride that Chef Christophe Pelé, on behalf of his entire team, salutes the 50 Best Committee and states: “This extraordinary vote of confidence from such a distinguished panel of epicurean connoisseurs touches us deeply. You can be sure that this will only add to our keen desire to further dazzle our guests and to surpass ourselves with every service”.
Delighted, Prince Robert of Luxembourg remarks: “At Le Clarence, we aimed to create a unique environment where time stands still. On every occasion that I have the pleasure to enjoy Chef Pelé’s cuisine, I am deeply moved by the elegance, delicacy and subtlety of his compositions. I have no doubt that this exceptional honour conferred on us by this exalted jury of peers will encourage our teams to reach new heights. We are deeply grateful to the 50 Best Restaurants for this outstanding recognition bestowed on our relatively youthful establishment.”
