Michelin One-Star Restaurant Experience~ ÉPURE.

ÉPURE MICHELIN 🌟 I had the privilege of dining at the Michelin one-star restaurant ÉPURE, helmed by Executive Chef Nicolas Boutin. The seasonal ingredients are flown in directly from France to ensure every diner enjoys fresh and delicious flavors. The restaurant also boasts an extensive wine collection and an elegant, comfortable environment, making it a perfect spot for a date. Today, I experienced the ÉPURE dinner set. 🌟ÉPURE Dinner Set $1688 ▪️Welcome Drink Chardonnay LA CHEVALIERE 2022 ▪️Bread basket Cheese croissant and French baguette.
