This is an\u00a0advantage, but, over time, it has also become a problem. The codes by which the\u00a0art of the table operates have begun to be perceived as very formal and\u00a0restrictive. Newer clients found them excessive and intimidating. We ended up\u00a0losing sight of what actually constitutes the essence of the art of welcoming:\u00a0being sincerely attentive to guests and allowing them to penetrate the bubble of\u00a0perfection and generosity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we re-opened my restaurant at the Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e, I figured that I would\u00a0have to restore this authenticity of attention and reinvent the rituals of welcoming.\u00a0This is the meaning behind the drink that\u2019s offered to clients as soon as they take\u00a0their place: beetroot water infused with hibiscus. This drink is accompanied by a\u00a0tuile of grains and several fine slices of rice-bread, along with some lightly salted\u00a0butter. The message is clear: we are truly going to take care of you. This is in\u00a0some ways a return to the core value: at its heart, the art of welcoming consists\u00a0of exhibiting the pleasure that we take in receiving guests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>After the departure of multi-starred chef Alain Ducasse from the\u00a0Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e,\u00a0Jean Imbert will succeed him at the head of the kitchens of the palace since July 2021.
