Reveillon @ The Rib Room

 

Rib Room

The flagship restaurant of the Royal Orleans Hotel is very busy with local regulars at lunchtime throughout the holidays. That is less true of dinner, where, after over a decade, the repercussions of an over-renovation are still discussed. But here is one of the rare restaurants specializing in prime rib, the most traditional of all Christmas dishes.

FULL REVIEW

All the Reveillon menus can be perused here. We'll feature one every day throughout the Reveillon season, which runs in most of the Reveillon restaurants until December 31.The snowflake ratings are for the Reveillon menu, not the restaurant in general.
