Le 16 Haussman

Against a recently-resdesigned contemporary backdrop, where clean-honed simplicity is expressed in a palette of warm colours, stylish furniture and sophisticated white tableware, chef Michel Hache creates a menu ideal for visitors who prefer to taste the original flavours of the ingredients. Classic examples include the Dublin bay prawn ravioli in a shellfish and basil sauce, and the vegetarian asparagus risotto with truffle oil and Parmesan wafers. Pastry chef Nicolas Renoir creates sweet delights such as the super Caribbean chocolate and bitter cocoa lava cake.

LUXOS recommends: Pan-sautéed filet of beef, cocoa crane and grenaille potato casserole

The Lindbergh Bar

A day of shopping at Galeries Lafayette can be exhausting, all those levels, rows of boutiques and so many choices! The last thing you would want is to stay in the same environment you’ve been in all day to sit down, order a drink and recuperate. Luckily for you, less than five minutes down the street is The Lindbergh Bar, an elegant and cosy space serving expertly made cocktails. Head barman Sébastien Protat reinvents the cocktails list season after season, which goes perfectly alongside the tantalizing menu of light dishes, main courses and desserts
