Chef charts new culinary course for iconic Paris hotel

Chef Jean Imbert has succeeded Alain Ducasse as the chef at iconic Paris hotel Plaza Athenee, revamping the restaurant with luxurious new decor and a theatrical menu inspired by historical and contemporary French cuisine. “For me, at this historic palace in the heart of Paris, on Avenue Montaigne, I always had the idea of telling the story of French history and French heritage,” Imbert said.
