I ate at Il Carpaccio, a popular Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. The unique dishes — like a teacup of tomato water — blew me away.

• Il Carpaccio is a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in Paris.
• I dined at the restaurant while staying at Le Royal Monceau, the hotel in which it's located.

At restaurants and in life, I often find myself paralyzed with indecision.

As such, I was elated when the waiter at Il Carpaccio, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, asked if they could prepare me a set tasting menu. He assured me the chefs would take care of me — a promise the staff and kitchen made good on with each plate they delivered to my table over the next few hours.

Located in Le Royal Monceau, a palace-designated hotel just a few minutes from the Arc de Triomphe, Il Carpaccio proved to me that its Michelin star is well-earned. Over more than 10 courses, I came to adore the restaurant's playful, flavorful dishes inspired by the chefs' Italian upbringing.

I was staying at Le Royal Monceau, and my dinner was included in the $1,000 press rate Insider paid to spend three nights in the hotel.

From a tomato water amuse-bouche to a deconstructed tiramisu, here's what dining at Il Carpaccio is like.
