Guy Savoy inspires not just admiration  but real affection from his fans. He's so likeable and his cooking, which emphasizes the finest, freshest ingredients, textures and contrasts, is inventive but never overworked. Bite into his brilliant huitres en nage glacée, oysters cooked in their own juice, made into a jelly and topped with a briny fresh oyster, and it's just like a dip in the ocean, while his now-legendary artichoke soup with black truffles and warm toasted brioche heaped with truffle butter is indecently soothing. For a one-night, gastronomic voyage, take the set menu. Sup on a cool tartare of meaty mackerel topped with Sevruga caviar and the same fish roasted and served on a potato slice; flinty lentils paired with earthy black truffles, plump langoustine steeped in citrus butter, and sweet , fleshy sea bass drifting on a vanilla sauce -  a heavenly match. Then,  milk-fed lamb "dans tous ses états" : grilled with fresh rosemary, rolled and stuffed with rocket, and souris, meltingly soft lamb shank, brightened with twice peeled peas. For dessert,  a festival of raspberries, sorbet layered with fresh fruit, granita, a biscuit crowned with upright berries and one deliciously caramelised fruit, followed by chocolate sorbet and deeply rich ganache dusted with bitter almond-tasting tonka bean, then a sliver of warm apple tart. Oh, and mini madeleines fresh from the owen in between. The staff is generous, service is flawless and the surroundings - a grown-up scheme of warm wood, leather, African sculptures and Georges Autard canvases - candidly comfortable.  Most of the diners are french, and you'll need to reserve at least one month in advance to join them and ever-charming, ever-present Guy for dinner.
