There are glorious views of Copacabana from this top floor dining room, but it is the food that lures diners here time and again. The dining room has been renovated and is now muted and spacious. When the restaurant opened, it was associated with famed chef Paul Bocuse, but French cooking has changed and so has Saint Honoré. Chef Dominique Oudin’s menu is classically French but it is not laden with heavy sauces. Rather, he has incorporated many tropical ingredients and the food is much lighter. Try the veal braised in coffee or the coq au vin. The Dublin Bay prawn and watercress terrine makes a great opener. You can follow it with the sea bream and rtichoke ravioli. Splurge on the chocolate beignet for dessert. You can work off the calories later. There is a jazz pianist nightly and a well-trained staff. There is a dress code. Reservations required.
