Created
in 1667 by André Le Nôtre, Louis XIV's
gardener,in order to improve the view from the Tuileries garden.
The avenue was lenghtened at the end of the 18th century, running
from theplace de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Two kilometers
long and bordered by trees, les Champs-Elysées has become
the center for festivities and official parades. It is likewise
a magnet for tourists and night strollers. Set between the
many cinemas,the cafés and restaurants tempt you to
stop in. Designer boutiques,banks and embassies are also situated
in this chic neighborhood.
The Champs-Élysées (literally, the "Elysian
fields") is a broad avenue in the French capital Paris.
With its cinemas, cafés, and luxury specialty shops,
the Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous
streets in the world.
The avenue
runs from the Place de la Concorde to the Place de l'Étoile,
location of the Arc de Triomphe, and forms part of the line
of the Axe historique.
The Champs-Élysées
were originally nothing but fields, until 1616 when Marie de Medici
decided to build a long tree-lined pathway. In 1724, the avenue
was extended up to the Place de l'Étoile.
By the
late 1700s, it had become a fashionable avenue where Queen
Marie Antoinette
strolled with her friends and took music
lessons at the grand Hotel Crillon. The Champs-Élysées
became city property in 1828, and footpaths, fountains, and
gas lighting were added. Over the years, the avenue has undergone
numerous transitions, most recently in 1993.
The Élysée
Palace is located not far from the avenue.
Restaurants
on the Champs Elysees :
Bistros & brasseries
Le Boeuf sur le Toit
34 rue du Colisée, 8th (01.53.93.65.55). M° St-Philippe
du Roule.
Open noon-3pm, 7pm-1am daily.
Average €38.
Prix fixe €31.
Credit AmEx, DC, MC, V. Non-smoking room.
Le Boeuf sur le Toit started out as a lively cabaret in the 1920s.
Taken over by Groupe Flo in the mid-1980s, the brasserie was
restored and enlarged, but echoes of ‘les années
folles’ remain in the decor and the bubbly crowd. The huge
bank of oysters is one of the highlights here, but there are
also some satisfying Mediterranean-style dishes à la carte,
alongside brasserie classics such as the andouillette de Troyes.
The wine list offers a good choice, including carafes, and a
range of prices.
Chez Léon
32 rue Legendre, 17th (01.42.27.06.82). M° Villiers.
Open noon-2pm, 7.30-10pm Mon-Fri. Closed Aug.
Average €40.
Prix fixe €29.
Credit AmEx, MC, V.
This old-fashioned spot is charming for its sincerity, fly-in-amber
decor and carefully made, generous, rare bistro classics.
The €29
prix fixe offers stunning value for money since it includes a
better-than-decent half bottle of wine. What a treat to find
homemade jambon persillé so full of taste. Main courses
of smoked herring with an aubergine timbale and rumpsteak
with chips are also excellent, and the waiters express an
existential
resignation worthy of a boulevard comedy.
Les Ormes
8 rue Chapu, 16th (01.46.47.83.98). M° Exelmans.
Open 12.15-2pm, 7.45-10pm Tue-Sat. Closed Aug, first week in
Jan.
Average €45.
Prix fixe €40.50 (dinner and Sat lunch).
Lunch menu €26, €30.

It’s worth the trip to discover the cooking of talented
young chef Stéphane Molé, whose delicious cooking
is at once lusty and refined. The good-value prix fixe - three
courses plus cheese from the fromagerie Alléosse - changes
almost daily but typical dishes include quenelles de brochet
(pike-perch dumplings) with sauce américaine, and
boneless veal knuckle with gnocchi. Desserts are excellent,
too.
Restaurant GR5
19 rue Gustave Courbet, 16th (01.47.27.09.84). M° Trocadéro.
Open noon-3pm, 7-11pm Mon-Sat.
Average
Incongruously located among the chic boutiques of the 16th
is this mock mountain refuge, named after the long-distance
footpath
that winds through the Jura to the Alps. The welcome
is warm, and rib-sticking cheese and potatoes are the key
ingredients
in Savoyarde fare such as fondue queyrassienne (€35
for two people) - a three-cheese version of the Alpine
classic with
bacon and onions - raclette valaisienne, or tartiflette,
a cheese, potato, and bacon concoction that will give
you the energy, if
you can get up from the table, to climb Mont Blanc.
Restaurant
L’Entredgeu
83 rue Laugier, 17th (01.40.54.97.24). M° Porte
de Champerret.
Open noon-2pm, 8-10.15pm Tue-Sat.
Prix fixe
This snug little bistro has been packed ever since
it opened thanks to its excellent food at very reasonable
prices. Young
chef Philippe Tredgeu mastered this sure-fire formula
while heading the kitchen at Chez Casimir. The blackboard
menu changes
daily,
and might feature scallops cooked in their shells with
salted butter and crumbled cauliflower, chewy, flavourful
roast pork
with braised chicory and lamb stuffed with foie gras.
Homely desserts run to caramelised bananas and apple
crumble.
Le Scheffer
22 rue Scheffer, 16th (01.47.27.81.11). M° Trocadéro.
Open noon-2.30pm, 7.30-10.30pm Mon-Sat. Closed Sat
in July and Aug, 25 Dec-2 Jan.
Average
A stone’s throw from busy Trocadéro, Le Scheffer
is a tourist-free haven for French family-style dining. OK, so
the French Sloanes with immaculate enfants aren’t your
average family, but their palates are reassuringly classical.
Slather os à moëlle (unctuous marrow bone) on bread
and follow with crispy confit de canard or salmon grilled à l’unilatéral
(on one side). A mound of profiteroles or fluffy île
flottante vie for top sweet. Be sure to book ahead.
Contemporary/trendy
Le 16 au 16
16 av Bugeaud, 16th (01.56.28.16.16). M° Victor Hugo.
Open noon-2.30pm, 7.30-10.30pm Tue-Sat.
Average
Ghislaine Arabian’s former restaurant has been adroitly
reinvented and even improved by the team she left behind. Chef
Frédéric Simonin has a sassy creativity and excels
in seasoning and timing, as shown in the fillet of beef in a
rich shallot and red wine reduction with ratte potatoes, and
sea bass with white beans and thyme. Dessert thrills include
sublime figs poached in wine with pine nuts, and the assiette
16 sur 16, a spectacular study in chocolate and caramel. There’s
a brilliant wine list with a good selection of
foreign bottles, and a buzzy crowd.
L’Envue
39 rue Boissy d’Anglas, 8th (01.42.65.10.49) M° Madeleine
or Concorde.
Open 8am-11pm Mon-Sat. Closed Aug.
Average
Even if you have an aversion to fashion
restaurants, make an exception for this
place, since the
decor, food and service
are really good in a part of Paris that
desperately needed an option
between the plastic corner café and haute cuisine. The
menu is ideal for grazing, since you can order a tasting plate
of seafood - sea bass sashimi, salmon tartare and rillettes,
brandade and green beans - and a similar all-in veg plate, or
go à la carte with a cheese-and-chive soufflé or
tomatoes stuffed with chèvre, followed by
steak tartare, chicken in lemon-saffron sauce,
or langoustine
risotto with
mango.
Flora
36 av George V, 8th (01.40.70.10.49). M° George V.
Open noon-2pm, 8-10.30pm Mon-Fri; 8-10.30pm
Sat. Closed two weeks in Aug.
Average
Engaging chef Flora Mikula runs this
stylish new restaurant with floral-upon-floral
wallpaper and 1940s-style
glass wall sconces.
Mikula, one of the best Provençal chefs
in Europe, has broadened her horizons to include
an international
version of
the south that visits Morocco, Turkey, India and
Vietnam. Starters such as a croustillant de crabe
in tomato
soup, a main of lobster
with broad beans and girolles in a jus of its own
coral, and desserts including a macaroon in rose
syrup with
lime sorbet,
are all wonderful, and the hospitality is southern
too.
Maison Blanche
15 av Montaigne, 8th (01.47.23.55.99
/ www.maison-blanche.fr). M° Alma-Marceau.
Open daily noon-2.30pm, 8pm-midnight.
Average €100.
Lunch menu €75.

The Pourcel twins have done a brilliant
job at reviving this trendy spot over
the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
The decor is slick and the menu is superb. It’s the starters
that star, with dishes as visually interesting as they are appetising:
sea urchins stuffed with dressed crab and garnished with caviar;
tarte Tatin of shallots with grilled red mullet, and mains such
as sea bass baked with preserved lemons and roast duck fillet
with a ‘pastilla’ of carrots and apricots.
Desserts are brilliant, too.
Spoon, Food & Wine
14 rue de Marignan, 8th (01.40.76.34.44
/ www.spoon.tm.fr). M° Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Open noon-2pm, 7-11pm Mon-Fri. Closed
14 July, last week in July and first
three
weeks in
Aug.
Average €75.
Prix fixe €37 (dinner only).
Lunch menu €37, €43.

While others have come and gone Spoon,
with its mix-and-match menu, has
stayed much the
same, though it’s
not chock-full as it used to be and prices are
decidedly
cheeky. The Speedy
Spoon, a recently introduced 40-minute lunch menu,
draws on a different continent every day, providing
a kind of
upmarket TV
dinner. The Spoon Top Five desserts include great
cheesecake and nougat ice cream.
Haute cuisine
Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée
Hôtel Plaza Athénée, 25 av Montaigne, 8th
(01.53.67.65.00 / www.alain-ducasse.com). M° Alma-Marceau.
Open 8-10.30pm Mon-Wed; 1-2.30pm,
8-10.30pm Thur, Fri. Closed last
two weeks in
Dec, mid-July to mid-Aug.
Average €220.
Prix fixe €190, €280.
Credit AmEx, DC, MC, V.
Ducasse’s spectacular cuisine continues to shine, and the
service is probably the most professional, engaging and precise
of any restaurant in Paris. From amuse-bouches of perfectly poached
langoustines topped with caviar, and spider crab served in its
orange shell beneath a bubbly foam of coral, through sautéed
Breton lobster with asparagus tips and morels in
a light sauce of its own cooking juices, a superb
plate
of cheeses
and desserts
that are an operatic triumph, this address provides
an unforgettable dining experience. Book well ahead.
Le V
Hôtel Four Seasons George V, 31 av George V, 8th (01.49.52.70.00
/ www.fourseasons.com). M° George V.
Open noon-2.30pm, 6.30-11pm daily.
Average €180.
Prix fixe €90, €190.
Lunch menu €70.

A look at the menu replete with
lobster, truffles, caviar, Bresse
chicken,
turbot and sea bass
and you could believe it
to be simply
a roll-call of grandeur. Not
so. Philippe Legendre does indeed
produce
luxury
fare, but combined
with precise execution, well-judged
service and just a whiff of invention.
The undoubted highlight is the
lobster, wood-smoked
in its shell
and surrounded by
a delicate, frothy morel sauce.
The cheese trolley is full of
well-aged specimens, among them
the fabulous
venaco
de Corse.
Pierre Gagnaire
6 rue Balzac, 8th (01.58.36.12.50
/ www.pierre-gagnaire.com).
M° Charles de Gaulle-Etoile or George V.
Open noon-2pm, 7.30-10pm Mon-Fri;
7.30-10pm Sun. Closed one week
in Feb, last two
weeks in July.
Average €150.
Prix fixe €195.
Lunch menu €90.

There is only one Pierre Gagnaire.
The man is a creative genius,
and a meal
here is
a breathtaking adventure.
Dishes are
made up of several elements, served
separately, which attempt to
tell the story of
a particular ingredient: ‘la langoustine’,
for instance, featuring a pan-fried version with
a lime tuile, a mousseline with lemongrass, a tartare with
apple
and ginger,
and grilled, with thyme nougatine. Others illustrate
surprising complementarities (veal and frogs, for
example). The prix
fixe offers an ideal introduction, with some nine
separate courses.
Book well ahead at this top table.

The sleepy street is not
very easy to find but that
doesn’t
stop this small, understated
restaurant from filling up
with an entirely Japanese
crowd. Starters include
a sublime
crab
and prawn salad - real crab
claws with squeaky fresh
prawns and ever-so-thin
marinated cucumber slices
- and richly flavoured miso
soup with clams. Sushi and
sashimi are expensive
but
the quality
is equivalently
high.
