Brasserie Fouquet's
About
The Brasserie Fouquet’s Paris, located at 99 avenue des Champs‑Élysées in the 8th arrondissement, is a 19‑century icon that has welcomed artists, actors and world‑class diners since 1899. Its signature red awnings span two glass‑roofed terraces overlooking the bustling avenue, while the stately interior—boiserie, portraits by Studio Harcourt and gold‑branded plaques—evokes the glamour of the French capital’s golden age. Today, Chef Pierre Gagnaire re‑interprets classic French dishes—stewed beef tartare, sole meunière and delicate mille‑feuille—using seasonal ingredients, balancing tradition with modern flair. The ambience is sophisticated yet approachable, offering a quintessential Parisian dining experience that resonates with history enthusiasts, food lovers and families seeking a refined table across the famous boulevard.
