Paris lunch at Hotel Raphael
We will be in Paris early October with friends and are interested in having a "splurge" lunch. A friend recommended the terrace restaurant at the Hotel Raphael. I haven't been able to find many reviews of the restaurant.
Has anyone been there and, if so, would you recommend it? |
Perhaps this isn't a good idea if no one has dined here.....any other recommendations for a great lunch spot, not over $100/person?
|
It's a fine hotel, but that restaurant is fairly new. That chain has not had good luck with it's various in-house restaurants. There are dozens of superb places that are walkable; many of the Michelin starred restaurants offer special prix-fixe menus at lunch. What are your preferences?
|
We are staying in the Marais and walkable is not necessary. We have eaten at Taillevent, Grand Vefour, Plaza Athenee and others and are looking for something more casual, preferably in a lovely setting with good food.

I would be interested in Le Cinq. Haven't been there, but would definitely be interested...
|
La Guirlande de Julie should work. Right on Place des Vosges.

Thanks, tuscanlifeedit and oakglen.

Tuscankifeedit : A few months ago, I had Japanese breakfast at Le Cinq (Four Seasons George V) and it was really good. I prefer having Japanese breakfast as I then get grilled salmon, rice, tofu, Japanese omelette, miso soup, and a few other things. The friend with me also had Japanese breakfast.
I ate Japanese breakfast for years while staying at the Four Seasons Bangkok. By eating that type of breakfast, I don't have to stop in the middle of the day for lunch. I think only the Four Seasons offers Japanese breakfast. Although it was really good at Le Cinq, it's better at the Four Seasons in Bangkok and about the equivalent of $18.00 when I was having it. Le Cinq was 49 Euros. But, I'll probably do it again next year if I can get up earlier enough to take the bus from my rented apartment in the 6th, all the way across town. LOL! Happy Travels! |
