Where Can I Wear Opera Gloves & Eat Steak-Frites? - Paris - The Infatuation

"It’s easy to get lost in Lapérouse’s labyrinthine corridors and hidden salons, which is probably why it was a go-to for filandrous 19th-century writers like Victor Hugo and Émile Zola. Their portraits still line the walls of the endless staircases leading you to the dining rooms, with astounding views of the Seine and the Louvre. The ghosts of former regulars must balk at the modern prices, which are probably why you’ll mostly hear Russian or English at neighboring tables. Ignore the siren call of truffle and caviar, however, and you’ll be surprised by simple yet delicious food, like an exquisite chateaubriand steak au poivre with crispy golden frites. The namesake cake is a multi-layered marvel of vanilla-scented cake and cream that even the pickiest diner will enjoy. Live piano music playing in the background may have you forgetting the wallet-lightening effects of both food and wine." - emily monaco

"LVMH scion Antoine Arnault is a minority investor in Lapérouse, which should tell you all you need to know about the crowd at the Left Bank restaurant that takes up multiple gilded floors in an 18th-century mansion. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time: the interiors are Belle Époque influenced, and dishes are served on Bernardaud china. Do a 10:30 p.m. reservation if you want to dine, as the place quickly descends into a party." - Elise Taylor

The 8 Best Places to Drink Wine in Paris, According to a Top Sommelier | Bon Appétit

"A storied 6th‑arrondissement institution whose dimly lit salons recall literary and musical history and once hosted private illicit dinners; its cellar is equally notable, offering both extravagant bottles that can total thousands and relative steals on the fringes of Burgundy (Mâconnais), Trousseau from the Jura, and Bandol rouge from the south, making it a destination for both atmosphere and deep, varied wine lists." - ByVictoria James

A memorable and unique experience! Beautiful service to the private dining room, it felt very special and personalised. We enjoyed a selection of starters mains and deserts. All of which were delicious - and many gluten free options too. Not only were they presented and tasted excellent, but much of the food service is done at the table which adds to the experience. The snails and the scallops were particularly good. The server was also kind enough to provide gluten free bread for me. The experience is worth the cost for fine private dining in a very luxurious and unique environment.

Great atmosphere with beautiful live music. The food was impeccable and I had one of the best Chateaubriands of my life. However, drink prices were surprisingly high. A single glass of wine cost almost as much as a whole bottle elsewhere. Worth visiting but keep an eye on the drinks menu

This restaurant is not just a place for dinner; it’s a whole experience. The elegance, history, and interior design come together in a truly unique way. We tried the snails, truffle pasta, and profiterole—each dish was perfect. And their butter with the bread? It’s something truly unique and delicious. Highly recommend!

The beef Wellington is probably the best I’ve had. The meat is so tender and tasteful its mind blowing. The champagne, wine and dessert choices are great. Especially that chocolate soufflé 🤤 and the creme brûlée is definitely the biggest one I’ve seen 🤣 love the ambiance and setting. Service is polite and cocktails top notch too. I think i was missing that extra “mind blowing-ness” on the other main dishes too but the food overall is outstanding

The ambiance and piano player made this place so romantic. As one of the oldest restaurants in Paris, it surpassed all my expectations. The beef wellington was one of the best i've ever had! Amazing service and cocktails. Very demure.

We celebrated my friend’s birthday here, and it was an unforgettable evening! From the outstanding service provided by our waiter, Mathis, to the incredible live music, everything was perfect. The food was a solid 10/10. I highly recommend this place for a special dinner in Paris!

It was a truly special day for me, and this place made it even more magical. From the moment I walked in, the warmth of the atmosphere, the beautiful decor, and the impeccable service lifted my mood instantly. The food? Absolutely divine. And with its perfect spot by the Seine, the view is just as breathtaking as the charming Parisian interior. A little slice of elegance that I won’t soon forget!

It's interesting because while it clearly states you only have 2 hours, our dinner took nearly 4 and that had everything to do with us waiting for our dessert for 40 min and then the check for an hour (and we had to ask 3 different people) We did dine with a table of celebrators, and an influencer in the same room (we were here during the tail end of fashion week) no I will not say their names. They are people too. It was. It odd or out of place and nor did they look uncomfortable in a dining room full of normal people (no no one went up to them) At The table next to us was an American couple who struck up conversation and was so kind, then a pair of women both dripping in Cartier (one wearing well over $300k in Cartier alone). All this to say this restaurant serves a wide range of people comfortably and treated everyone the same way. We are here on the first night of our Paris leg and I was clearly getting sick so our server saw this (it was not doing well LOL) actually offered to make his family's "health tea" for me. Which was incredibly kind of him. He made two posts and it legitimately helped me feel better while I was there. I ordered two pots and got the recipe (it was also incredibly delicious so I will be making this at home when feeling sick in future) I am writing this 3 weeks after dining here, and I have to say aside from his kindness, our food was forgettable (I remember it was plated beautifully, but i don't remember remotely what we ordered). Not bad, I just truly cannot remember it. I think most people come here for the lush atmosphere that feels very old world and luxurious. There is a lot of storied history. I also seem to remember seeing something about it turning into more of a party/ club atmosphere on certain nights (that's entirely from TikTok though s I would go there for more info - that is not my scene) It's a great option if you want to dress up for a romantic evening. Our night was a bit marred by the aforementioned 40 min wait for dessert and then additional hour for the check - we were exhausted and I was feeling so sick. I know long relaxing dinners are part of French culture but we did ask for the check 3 times so clearly we wanted to get out of these and get to bed. All in all, I would come back for the romance, and atmosphere alone but not especially for the food. It is definitely going to be added to my list of must do's when in Paris and will be adding it to my recommendation list!

First opened in 1766 as La Maison Lapérouse, this distinguished restaurant and bar situated smack on the banks of the Seine is a favorite spot for well-heeled literary and artistic types. It's the sort of place where you can spend an evening chasing the ghosts of patrons such as Victor Hugo and Gustave Flaubert, who frequented the place to write, loaf and meet with artistic comrades. Upstairs, intimate private booths create a "boudoir" vibe. Couples or small groups of friends dine on red-velvet divans bathed in candlelight. Some booths have views of the street or the river. There's an old-world allure to the place that certainly warrants an evening here, if only for an (admittedly pricey) before-dinner drink. The service was phenomenal but the food was subpar. Especially if you're interested in literary history, or simply want to soak in an ambiance you'd have a hard time finding elsewhere, reserving a couple of hours for this historic spot is something I recommend.

Food, service and ambiance was amazing. Great wine list and the beef Wellington was perfect. Our service paced us nicely and was very helpful and attentive.

Only twice have I felt like I was in a wonderful dream when dining out. This is one of those experiences. We started our visit with drinks at the bar: a gorgeous, comfortable, opulent space. The bartender was very attentive and gracious, and he arranged to have our drinks transferred to our lovely table in the dining room upstairs. We loved the French music playlist so much that we attempted to recreate it on Spotify at home! (Yes - we used Shazam to identify some songs; don't tell anyone!) We had requested a private dining room, but then discovered that there was a 50 euro charge per person for the room, so we declined it and had dinner in the main dining room. The dining room is as beautiful as it is luxurious, with a view of the Seine. We ordered the Duck Foie Gras as a starter, and shared the wonderful Beef Wellington (which was served in May 1940 to Sir Winston Churchill) for dinner. The Wellington was doused with a delicious red wine sauce, and accompanied by a fresh green salad. It is still as good 83 years later as I'm sure it was then - perhaps even better. We paired our meal with a nice bottle of French red wine. A talented pianist played and sang retro hits from American artists, like the Eagles (Hotel California), some Carole King, some Fleetwood Mac, and many others - and we loved it!!! So much fun! The restaurant appears to cater to well-heeled American tourists. Service was gracious and attentive, with waiters constantly checking on us, filling our water glasses, topping off our wine, and clearing dirty plates. The sommelier was very nice and chill - not pushy at all. The restaurant's wine list is the size of a phone book. When we requested the check, another staff member came to our table, and requested an additional tip, which we were not expecting, but we complied. They deserved every euro of it. This is an expensive, decadent, unforgettable restaurant. When visiting Paris, everyone should visit a fine dining restaurant like this at least once during their stay. Paris rivals, and in many cases exceeds, the fine dining experiences we've had in the United States.

What a great experience and loved every minute of it. Samantha was so accommodating because we had to cancel our original reservations because France was playing in the World Cup Semi-Finals. We were able to book another one for an early dinner. We were the first group to arrive at 7:30 and it felt like we had the whole restaurant for ourselves. So much history and the ambiance was really cool. Our waiter was so helpful and answered all of our questions. Even the doorman was a great photographer and took and excellent picture of us. We were celebrating our 10th year anniversary in Paris and it was our last night so it made the trip even better.

Lampérouse is an upscale dinner place in Paris, France, and if was delicious. It featured great service and a nice high end ambiance. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, we sat indoors. Both are great options, so make your choice based on the weather. The service was friendly and efficient. Places like this in Paris all have slower service than places in America, but that is part of the dining experience. The food was great. We got their steak and it was really delicious. It was a Chateaubriand steak with pepper sauce and french fries. It was not the best I've had but it was still really good. With all steaks in Paris I recommend a medium rare to rare cook as the quality of the meat is supreme. It would be a waste to get the meat cooked closer to well done. The dessert is amazing, I would recommend getting the raspberry tart. It's one of the best raspberry tarts I've ever had. I would suggest getting dinner at Lampérouse. I would also recommend getting a reservation in advance just to be safe. Great food, great upscale vibe. And well priced for what it is! Check out the menu in the pictures I've provided.

They let me know that i needed to leave the table and was only 1 hour into my dinner, who eats in 1 hour. Mashed potatoes needed seasoning. Literally just came for the soufflé and was told it was "sold out" when another table ordered it about 5 mins prior. Likely was told no, as the need d the table in 1 hour which is insane. Would definitely NOT come back and not recommend. House wine is horrible/ merde.

Stunning Parisian restaurant - recently renovated but retains all of the history and decadence. Numerous private rooms for 2 - 30 and lovely bar/lounge.

We had an amazing time here. The history alone is mind blowing and humbling. We had the surprise lunch and we loved everything we had. Flavorful, unique, and surprising. The service was great and we were surprised by dining in a solo room- which you normally need to pay extra for. I suggest if you come here- pay more for the private room- it is truly a one of a kind experience.

Honestly we were really disappointed. We came here Saturday of fashion week and expected quite a scene but it was literally dead. There wasn't a single person in the bar, most of the tables never filled up - perhaps everyone was in the private rooms? But still it felt deserted. The food was OK but not great-especially for the price.The new renovations weren't anything to write home about - in fact It kind of looked like an old place that needed to be renovated. Also one thing I thought was irritating was they asked if I wanted a glass of champagne for my birthday when I Came in. Of course I said yes but when I got the bill they charged me $75 for one glass! Seems like a sneaky thing to do for a high-class establishment. The concierge at the Ritz recommended this place but We were rather disappointed and I think it's living on its old reputation.
