Le Grand Véfour
17, rue Beaujolais, Paris 75001 01 42 96 56 27
Description:
1er ARRONDISSEMENT. Under the arches of Palais Royal, chef Guy Martin creates culinary alchemy in a restaurant described as one of Paris's most beautiful; mirrors, gilts and fresco paintings contributed to the election of this place as an official Historical Monument. Historically, it's been a favorite with the French elite – imagine Napoleon or Jean Cocteau at dinner. Delight in foie gras-stuffed ravioli or poached oysters in beetroot sauce. Exquisite wines accompany dinners, and the cheese tray features varieties from Chef Martin's native Savoie. METRO: Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre (lines 1, 7) or Bourse (line 3) Hours: Sep - Jul Mon-Thu 12:30pm-2pm, 8am-10pm; Fri 12:30pm-2pm
