After a two-year, $400 million renovation, The Plaza hotel is back, and it’s got some major bragging rights thanks to this opulent French spot from uber-chef Didier Virot. “The focus is to keep the historical aspect of the place and to use some classical dishes from the old hotel,” he tells us,” and to mix modern French cuisine with a personal touch.” Dishes include prosciutto-wrapped goat-cheese terrine with figs, and duck breast with oatmeal porcini cake; the chi-chi factor stays high with an afternoon tea service complemented by lobster sandwiches and roasted lamb loin.
