its panel of 1,080 international culinary experts, held their annual award

Le Clarence's identity is born out of a magical recipe. The main ingredients

include the audacious concoctions of a seasoned "rebel" Chef, Christophe Pelé,

mixed in with the vision of a daring entrepreneur, Prince Robert of Luxembourg,

President & CEO of family company, Domaine Clarence Dillon. Together, in

November 2015, they created a unique blend of instinctive, brilliantly executed

modern cuisine, juxtaposed with the warm traditional charm of a French chateau.

Housed in an elegant 19th century mansion located in Paris, only meters away

from the most famous avenue in the world, the Champs Elysées, Le Clarence is

situated at the epicentre of the city of lights' Golden Triangle and thus in

the exalted heart of European culture and the global luxury goods industry.

It is with tremendous joy and pride that Chef Christophe Pelé, on behalf of his

entire team, salutes the 50 Best Committee and states: "This extraordinary vote

of confidence from such a distinguished panel of epicurean connoisseurs touches

us deeply. You can be sure that this will only add to our keen desire to

further dazzle our guests and to surpass ourselves with every service".

Delighted, Prince Robert of Luxembourg remarks: "At Le Clarence, we aimed to

create a unique environment where time stands still. On every occasion that I

have the pleasure to enjoy Chef Pelé's cuisine, I am deeply moved by the

elegance, delicacy and subtlety of his compositions. I have no doubt that this

exceptional honour conferred on us by this exalted jury of peers will encourage

our teams to reach new heights. We are deeply grateful to the 50 Best

Restaurants for this outstanding recognition bestowed on our relatively

youthful establishment."

Christophe Pelé

Managing Director and Executive Chef of the restaurant Le Clarence

From a very young age, Christophe Pelé developed a taste for cooking, but it

was only at the age of 25 that he became aware of his destiny.

After having worked in the most prestigious Parisian establishments - Ledoyen,

Lasserre, Pierre Gagnaire, Le Bristol -, it was at the Royal Monceau that

something clicked for him when he met Bruno Cirino. This was an important

turning point in his life. He took over the reins of the Royal Monceau kitchen

from the Chef in 2004.

In 2007, chef Pelé opened La Bigarrade, which he imagined to be a simple

"neighbourhood restaurant" in Paris. The Michelin Guide awarded him his first

star in 2008 and his second in 2009. He closed his restaurant in 2013 and took

some time to explore new horizons and discover other culinary cultures.

In 2014, Christophe Pelé met Prince Robert of Luxembourg and together they

opened Le Clarence in November of 2015. Le Clarence was awarded two stars by

the Michelin Guide in 2017.

wholesale companies (Negociant), was also created (www.clarencedillonwines.com).

In 2018, Prince Robert of Luxembourg, representing the 4th generation of the

families owning some of the most prestigious wine estates in the world.
