LâĂpicure at the Bristol Paris. In the words of Chef Eric Frechon, spoken almost two decades after he took the reins of this French art of the living restaurant, LâĂpicure au Bristol Paris, tells the story of the nature of his brilliant cuisine: âIt is an exceptional house with a real family spirit, true values of loyalty and an air of quintessential luxury in simplicity. This is where I was able to develop my cookingâ. For his three Michelin stars he went searching for his grail of cuisine as soon as he arrived in 1999, however, despite the legend and reputation of the Ăpicure au Bristol it has never been honoured with stars.
