Cuzco’s go-to spot for traditional French cooking, this romantic white-linen restaurant delivers with cool precision. Start with trout in a tart mango ginger confit. The duck à l’orange cooked two ways is simply divine. You can also go for a tasting menu (from S145). There's a wonderful selection of French wines and lovely desserts – chocolate fondant being the obvious, happy choice.
