A Legendary Dining Experience That Transforms When the Night Comes
Hidden at 51 Quai des Augustins, Lapérouse is a Parisian institution that has stood at the crossroads of history, haute gastronomy, and society for over two centuries.
Founded in 1766, it became the first restaurant to earn three Michelin stars in 1933, cementing its status as a beacon of French culinary excellence. Its elegant private salons have long been the setting for intimate dinners, blending luxury with the discreet ambience that has drawn Parisian elite, literary legends, and global icons alike.
The list of notable guests is as storied as the restaurant itself. Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, Zola, Proust, and Maupassant dined here, as did Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, who famously met within its walls. Even in modern times, stars of fashion, cinema, and culture continue to flock to its lavish salons, creating unforgettable moments in an environment steeped in history.
Opening its doors at 19:00, Lapérouse offers a culinary journey that celebrates French haute gastronomy at its finest. As night progresses, the venue evolves, blending its timeless elegance with a vibrant energy that turns it into a late-night hotspot. Guests can savour impeccable dishes and exquisite wines, then transition seamlessly into a lively social atmosphere that feels both exclusive and electric.
