Fodor's Expert Review Café Lapérouse

A charming and much less infamous version of its sumptuous mothership—the legendary 250-year-old Parisian restaurant Lapérouse—this light-drenched café, housed within the beautiful Hôtel de la Marine, has all the romance of a 19th-century luxury cruiseliner bound for exotic shores: plush banquettes in sorbet colors, glittering chandeliers, and touches from faraway places. It's equally wonderful for breakfast, lunch, dinner, teatime, or even a quick cocktail, indoors or on the colonnaded terrace facing Place de la Concorde or the mansion's elegant courtyard.
