RESTAURANT SUMMARY

epclublogoblackgold.png

Where Michelin-starred gastronomy meets the romance of the Seine, Don Juan II Paris transforms fine dining into an extraordinary floating voyage through the heart of the City of Light. This intimate Art Deco yacht accommodates just 35 guests for an exclusive two-hour dinner cruise, combining Chef Frédéric Anton's three-Michelin-starred cuisine with panoramic views of Paris's illuminated monuments.

Frédéric Anton, recently crowned Chef of the Year 2025 by Gault&Millau, brings his legendary culinary mastery from Le Pré Catelan and Jules Verne to this unique floating restaurant. The three-Michelin-starred chef has evolved beyond his Robuchon heritage to create a distinctly personal culinary philosophy aboard Don Juan II. Under his direction, Chef Gabin Bordelais executes Anton's vision with remarkable precision, transforming the yacht's compact galley into a stage for gastronomic excellence. This prestigious vessel represents Anton's innovative approach to French haute cuisine, earning recognition as one of Paris's most exclusive dining experiences.

The cuisine aboard Don Juan II showcases Anton's technical brilliance through signature creations that have become legendary among Paris fine dining circles. The famous crab and caviar pairing, elevated this season with a decisive hint of curry, exemplifies the chef's relentless pursuit of perfection. Guests savor the stracciatella peas with shaved caviar, delicate asparagus and spring onion flan, and the exquisite langoustine raviole adorned with fine gold leaf jelly. The poultry with yellow wine and morel mushrooms transcends its classic origins through Anton's divine sauce work, while the evening concludes with a warm chocolate soufflé accompanied by Iranian pistachio ice cream. Each dish reflects the restaurant's commitment to seasonal French gastronomy, sourced from premium producers and executed with artistic precision.

The yacht's Art Deco interior, appointed with exotic woods and Pierre Frey textiles, creates an atmosphere of refined elegance as guests cruise past the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre-Dame. The intimate 92-square-meter dining room features panoramic windows offering unobstructed views of Paris's monuments, while the outdoor deck provides the perfect setting for champagne service beneath the Eiffel Tower's nightly illumination. Service aboard Don Juan II maintains Michelin-star standards, with the distinguished chef de bord orchestrating every detail of the evening. The carefully curated wine program complements Anton's cuisine, though the selection leans toward classic palace-style offerings. Reservations for this ultra-premium experience require advance planning, with the limited seating ensuring an exclusive atmosphere perfect for special celebrations and VIP events.

Don Juan II reservations represent access to Paris's most unique Michelin-starred experience, where culinary artistry meets the magic of the Seine. Book well in advance to secure your place aboard this floating temple to French gastronomy.
