A legendary address in the Grands Boulevards, the Café de la Paix has been fully renovated, flourishing once again its famous Napoléon III décor. Inaugurated in 1862, at the same time as the Grand Hôtel which shares its premises, this institution has always been at the heart of Parisian art and art de vivre.

At the corner of the Boulevard des Capucines and the Place de l’Opéra, the Café de la Paix is the figurehead and rallying point for the theatre district. Over the years, it has attracted the greatest intellectuals, artists, politicians and writers. Sitting down for a drink, you join an illustrious list of loyal famous guests, the spirit of Guy de Maupassant and Victor Hugo, the memory of Ernest Hemingway and Emile Zola, and the unforgettable presence of Serge Lifar, ballet master at the neighbouring Opera.

As soon as you set foot in the Café de la Paix, you know you are somewhere special. Surrounded by a décor—and ambiance–you won’t find anywhere else in Paris. The Napoleon III style with its gilded panelling and coffered ceiling blends seamlessly with streamlined furniture and a natural colour scheme.

As Iconic Parisian Restaurant, Le Café de la Paix, world-famous restaurant listed as Historic Monument, undoubtedly is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Paris. With their terrace looking on the Opéra Garnier, it is part of the flagship places making the very soul of Paris.

The Executive Chef, Laurent André learned his trade with Alain Chapel at Mionnay before meeting Alain Ducasse. It was the beginning of a beautiful story with chapters written at the Louis XV (Monaco), the Grande Cascade (Paris), the Spoon Food & Wine (London and Hong-Kong) and the Royal Monceau-Raffles (Paris). Today, the Executive Chef shares his avid passion for locally grown products, for a seasonal cuisine, infusing the venerable classics of the Café de la Paix menu with a light, contemporary touch.
