Café Lapérouse Paris

Café Lapérouse sits at 2 Place de la Concorde, bringing the fountains of the square into view from its outdoor tables. It is a five-minute walk from the Jardin des Tuileries, sitting directly on the path between the city’s major galleries and the shops of the 1st arrondissement.

The menu focuses on classic and contemporary French cuisine, and the room runs more smart and elegant than the bistros that crowd the corners of the square. While the landmark address attracts significant passing traffic, the dining room keeps a contained, formal air that sets it apart from the frantic energy of the Jardin des Tuileries thoroughfare. Choose this spot if you prefer the geometry of the Concorde to the cramped, chaotic dining rooms of the narrow streets deeper in the centre.
