With an impressive culinary resumé that includes the likes of Epicure at Le Bristol Paris, Le Meurice and Nomicos, Cattaneo is a stickler for the exacting standards required at the highest echelons of fine dining—a tendency that carries over into his picks for culinary destinations in his newly adopted home.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
When I want to feel at home, I always go for the lamb cutlets and mashed potatoes at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. This place is like family to me, having worked there for a long time before I joined the team at LPM. I share lots of fond memories with the fellow chefs I worked with over the years.
