Findi restaurant right on Paris’s glorious avenue Georges V will make you believe you’re in an elegant Venetian palazzo, and quite a hip one at that. Formerly Finzi Restaurant, the change of name and décor has brought nothing but fabulousness. Sweep up the monumental staircase into the series of small, graceful dining rooms. The colours are buff, neutral, sophisticated with classic Italian chairs, elegant table settings, striking modern wall sconces, and pools of romance-inviting lighting. The kitchen is in the able hands of Loic Gaudin who creates both classic and modern Italian dishes, like starter of salad of green asparagus with smoked salmon and poached egg, fresh homemade pastas like black tagliatelle with gambas and tomatoes, main course of escalope of veal stuffed with smoked mozzarella, parma, sage and polenta, and dessert of grappa sorbet. Findi restaurant is a beautiful people’s destination in the Parisian triangle d’or.
