Le Grand Café - Review - 8th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"Where are the beautiful people going for lunch and dinner in Paris these days? To the freshly renovated Grand Palais’s Grand Café, a brasserie designed by star architect Joseph Dirand with lots of marble, velvet, and beveled mirrors, sky-high ceilings, and 300 seats inside and on a leafy terrace with views of the Petit Palais across the street. The place is objectively massive, which makes it easy to pack in the local fashion set and the corporate types in well-fitted suits at lunch. By night, the crowd skews toward local and foreign jet-setters who are thrilled to have an excuse to get dressed up." - Lindsey Tramuta
