The Rue Saint-Honoré and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré are recognized as the Mecca of luxury and high fashion shopping. This is where the Haute Couture houses have their flagship stores – Versace, Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Colette and Balmain. So it just makes sense that some of the best Parisian restaurants are around these aristocratic streets.

Without the pomp and circumstance of typical Michelin star winners, Lucas Carton offers a creative and fresh spin on French cuisine, The dishes are prepared with impressive attention to details and the service is impeccable. The restaurant is right on Place de la Madeleine, a few minutes from rue Saint Honoré.

Epicure at the Bristol
If there is a restaurant that deserves its Michelin stars (actually three of them), it is this one. The dining room is beautiful. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are immersed in the art of fine dining quality and service. The wine pairing is terrific .L’Epicure is just one of the best restaurants in the world. It’s one of those places where your feel justified to spend more than usual.
Although located on rue Saint Honoré, don’t expect to be able to walk in while shopping the boutiques. They serve 40 guests for lunch or dinner, so reservations are mandatory.

La Maison de la Truffe
If you are obsessed with truffles, or have never had them and want to give it a try, this is the place to go. You can smell the wonderful fragrance of truffle the moment you step in the restaurant. The entire meal is built around truffles. The risotto is amazing. It is a bit pricey, but worth it- French gourmet Brillat-Savarin called truffles “the diamond of the kitchen”,

Le Grand Restaurant Jean François Piège
This “Grand Restaurant” seats only 30 guests, but the impeccable service and food are why it deserves its name. It’s great for a romantic dinner when staying close to the Place de la Madeleine and the rue St Honoré. Because the restaurant is so small, you will need to book a table several weeks in advance. The delicate, light dishes are worth every penny. This is culinary art.

Le Griffonier
This little bistro is minutes from the French ‘Ministeres’ and the Presidential Palace. It is open only for lunch, and attracts a crowd of French public servant and locals enjoying their lunch break. It has simple dishes, andouillette with mashed potatoes, steak frites, trouts, charcuterie platters, boudins, but all really well done.
