One suggestion. The word experience includes "parmi nous" in my opinion.

: imho, don't think it is advisable to 'qualify' the dining experience. it's supposed to be a top level restaurant -they know their food is great-just want customer to enjoy it :-)

Your Dining Pleasure is Our Concern OR An Exceptional Dining Experience
Declined
whatever you use, i would avoid things beginning with we hope etc...They just don't ring true in English....One wouldn't start out with the focus on the restaurant

Comment: "To GB diners (this is a hotel situated in the north of France), this would maybe sound like a US corporate-stle slogan. Thanks anyway..."
