Tips from the community

Laperouse has been providing high-quality cuisine in an elaborately decorated lounge setting since 1766, one of the first three-star Michelin restaurants to line Paris streets. With literary masters including Baudelaire, Marcel Proust, Hugo Hemingway, and George Sand frequenting the gaudy rococo-esque interior, this is a must for gastronomy, interior design, and history fans visiting the city. Known as a scandalous spot that balanced a past combining romance and fine french cooking, Laperouse remains shrouded in the remnants of the Lost Generation’s escapades.
