At the heart of the Champs Elysees is Le Fouquet’s, a beautiful restaurant that is part of the prestigious Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière.

Since 1899, the year of its opening, Le Fouquet’s has been the preferred place in Paris for several personalities ranging from Chaplin, Chevalier, Dietrich, Churchill, Roosevelt and Jackie Onassis. For over 100 years, the restaurant has been a popular meeting point for celebrities in popular culture and the big screen. However, it is also a must for anyone who boasts of having traveled to La Ville-Lumière.

 

 

The kitchen is run by chef Jean-Yves Leuranguer, who in 1997 won the coveted “Meilleur Ouvrier de France”. For the menu of Fouquet’s, he devised creative and original dishes, blending traditional French cuisine with the essence of “brasserie de luxe.”

The entries of Le Fouquet’s range from scallops carpaccio accompanied by vegetables and lemon, to the foie gras Fouquet’s with tomato rougail, Jean Todt lobster ravioli with crustaceans dressing, in addition to lobster Fouquet flowers, quinoa grain and citrus vinaigrette.

Among the main dishes that the chef Leuranguer prepares are the grilled sea bass with watercress mousse and grilled vegetables, butter fried sole and sea salt with steamed potatoes and Provencal tomato, organic chicken breast with chermoula dressing, or filet mignon with bearnaise sauce accompanied by French fries coin de rue style.

On the other hand, among the exquisite desserts served are the Caesar chocolate delight, the Fouquet’s traditional strudel, rum babka with vanilla cream, and a wide variety of fresh cakes.
