Need any more tips? Feel free to contact us. Enjoy.
Restaurants for lunch
Bound
Bound is founded in 2005 by the George V Group. In Paris, they own Buddha Bar, Barlotti, Barrio Latino and Bound. A huge pink metallic bar, black chandeliers, chairs in croco leather give this spot the cool touch needed to have lunch. Needed? Why yes. Or do you prefer having lunch with a fluorescent tube above your head? I didn’t think so.
Try for lunch the hamburgers with french fries. Best fries you find in Paris. Best hamburger you find available for lunch. The sushi is alright, but they’re better at Buddha Bar. The only type of sushi roll that tastes the same as the ones over at Buddha Bar, are the Bound rolls. Delicious.
Address: 49, Avenue George V
Open for: Lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and clubbing.
L’Avenue
L’Avenue is founded by one of the Costes brothers, of the world famous Hotel Costes. You might not ever have heard of the hotel, which is okay, but I bet that you’ve heard about the CD’s. If not: stop reading and buy some Costes CD’s. Awesome chill out, lounge and acid jazz compilations.
Across the street are Dior and Chanel, located on Avenue Montaigne, L’Avenue is great for the upper echelon shoppers. Try the salmon, it’s so fresh it almost swims to your plate. Enjoy your lunch at this great spot.
Address: 41, Avenue Montaigne
Open for: Lunch and dinner.
Restaurants for dinner
Buddha Bar
Buddha Bar is the most famour restaurant of the Georges V Restauration Group in Paris. Georges V Group owns the Buddha Bar concept and is exploiting this in over 10 cities already, expanding the Georges V empire quickly.
Buddha Bar is my favourite restaurant in Paris. I am a extremely big fan of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese cuisine type of food, and the sushi at Buddha Bar is honestly the best I’ve ever tasted. Of all cities (New York, London, Amsterdam, St. Tropez, Antwerp, etc) Buddha Bar in Paris serves the best sushi, ever. Try the Buddha Bar Rolls, Pink Lady, Lobster Rolls, Spicy Tuna and Red Fire Dragon. Experience the summum of sushi, while the best DJ’s play their beats. While the time flies the music gets louder, the people get drunker and you become more and more sad because all of the sushi is gone… Eaten… And now you have a reason to come back to Paris. Try Buddha Bar. You won’t be dissapointed.
Address: 8, Rue Boissy d’Anglas
Open for: Dinner and a little bit of bar clubbing.
Kong
Completely designed by Philip Starck, Kong is different than any other restaurant that you’ve ever dined in Paris. Not only because of it’s stunning view over Pont Neuf and the Seine, also because of the ambiance.
Before you dine, you can have drinks at the bar, one level below the main restaurant. Kong is located on the top two floors of the Kenzo main office, across the street from where Louis Vuitton’s main office is founded. Depending on what side of the restaurant you’re sitting, you’re either staring to Pont Neuf, or to the Louis Vuitton logo across the street. Try getting the table that gives you the Pont view, when making reservations.
Address: 1, Rue Pont Neuf
Open for: Lunch, brunch, dinner and bar clubbing.
Jules Verne
This restaurant has the most magnificent location of this list. Even better than Kong. It’s located on the second floor level of the Eiffel Tower and has been graded with one Michelin Star. Since 2007 it’s run by Alain Ducasse.
A private elevator brings you to to the restaurant, 125 meters above the ground. This gives you a stunning panoramic view of Paris. It’s the most expensive restaurant on this list, but the view is so stunning, it’s worth the money. If not for the food, designed (yes: designed) by Patrick Jouin, then for the view.
