Alain Ducasse has taken the reigns at Paris' legendary Rech restaurant, which re-opens it this month. Staying true to the establishment's history, decadent seafood platters will be the catch of the day, but remember to leave enough room for the salted butter caramel ice cream and Pastis d’Amélie French toast. Head upstairs to dine in 1920's armchairs or watch Paris go by from the ground floor in Café Rech. Whichever you choose, don't miss the famous selection of oysters. Rech, 62, avenue des Ternes, Paris 75017, +33 (0)1 45 72 29 47
