Paris, the city of lights and culinary delights, is home to an abundance of exquisite dining experiences. From timeless brasseries to chic modern interiors, the city offers something for every taste and style. We’ve rounded up three must-visit Parisian restaurants, each recommended by designers who know the importance of atmosphere as much as they do exceptional food.
Loulou Paris
Recommended by Sean Symington
Located in the heart of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Loulou Paris combines stunning views of the Tuileries Gardens with sophisticated Italian-inspired cuisine. Sean Symington shares his insider tip:
“I would ask for a table by the windows. Follow this with a nightcap at Bar 228 around the corner (inside Le Meurice).”
This spot is perfect for anyone seeking a refined dining experience with an equally picturesque setting.
Le Chardenoux
Recommended by Jo Baily
Step into Parisian nostalgia at Le Chardenoux, a gem in the 11th arrondissement. Jo Baily raves about its old-world charm:
“It is a great ‘old’ Paris style restaurant with captivating interiors and incredible food. The interiors have been recently updated by London-based interior designer Martin Brudnizki.”
With a menu that showcases French classics and a décor that’s both elegant and welcoming, this restaurant promises an unforgettable evening.
Le Voltaire
Recommended by Joseph Altuzarra
For an intimate and timeless Parisian dining experience, Joseph Altuzarra points to Le Voltaire. This Left Bank institution is known for its elegant atmosphere and traditional French cuisine. Situated along the Seine, Le Voltaire feels like stepping into a bygone era, offering guests an escape from the bustling streets of the city.
Bon appétit!
