Arnaud's
Last year, Arnaud's Reveillon menu was the most improved among all the rivals. It moved from a very traditional assortment of dishes to an intriguing assortment of mostly-new dishes with a feeling of winter and of the holiday season. That fits right into the concept of the Reveillon. It's not one of the most varied Reveillons, but it makes up for that with arestaurant full of the restaurant is rife with Christmas decorations, among the two or three grandest and most tasteful in town, with an emphasis on gold rather than red and green. All that with the a very attractive price of $49 for the four courses.
Four courses, $49.
