The S.Pellegrino World's Best Restaurants.

This is masterful French food - Pierre Gagnaire's Paris restaurant is a homage to art in cooking, literature and design.

Gagnaire's focus and determination are summed up in a comment made on his journey to the UK when opening Sketch in 2003. Gagnaire admitted a lack of knowledge of the British restaurant scene. "I don't have enough time to look at what other people are doing" he said, and why should he when he is this good.
