    • Le Pristine's dramatic wine tunnel.
    • The Pizzette Chilli King Crab features spicy chilli crab on crunchy focaccia bread.
    • Langoustine, foie gras and caviar are served in a dainty tin with toasted brioche.
    • The oysters are pretty, but convoluted with an avalanche of toppings.
    • Breaded veal cutlets stuffed with ham and cheese are deep-fried and served with pommes dauphine.
    • The collapsed tiramisu is a satisfying layer of soft sponge and whipped coffee mousse.
