[2025 Paris Restaurant] Travel Guide for Laperouse (Updated Jun)

Laperouse is one of the first two restaurants in France to be awarded three Michelin stars and still remain today. The signature dishes include the favorite soups and desserts of the great poet Victor Hugo. The tableware is also left over from that time and is now out of production. This 250-year-old restaurant retains traditional cooking techniques in its antique decoration, focusing on taste and maintaining the original portion size, which is completely different from the delicacy and plating art of modern French cuisine. The menu changes according to the seasons. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance.

#paristrip The Lapérouse restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris. This historic restaurant, housed in a former 18th century mansion, is one of the last Parisian restaurants to offer small private salons-alcoves for intimate lunches or dinners in a hushed setting. The history of the Lapérouse restaurant dates back to 1766, when it was bought by Lefèvre, the king's lemonade maker. The place became prosperous thanks to the quality of the dishes served and the creation of discreet salons in the servants' rooms on the second floor. In the 19th century, Jules Lapérouse became the owner and worked to upgrade the establishment. The restaurant was frequented by many personalities, such as Maupassant, Zola, Hugo, Balzac, Offenbach, Auguste Rodin and Sarah Bernhardt. Marcel Proust was also inspired by it for his work. According to legend, a secret passage existed between the restaurant and the Senate, in order to preserve the identity of the politicians who lunch there. In the 20th century, the restaurant was run by the Topolinski family for three generations, with the son Topolinski being considered a "grand chef" for his soufflés and veal kidneys. Since its restoration in 2012, the restaurant is still frequented by celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian who love its "bell" service to respect the privacy of the guests, with a personal butler.
