About the restaurant

In the kitchen of this Japanese address near the Olympia Paris 9th, our chef RAOUL interprets the great classics of Japanese gastronomy, but does not shy away from links with French cuisine either. At dinner, the chef takes care to imagine the menu for his customers by offering an “omakase” in 7 Japanese tapas according to their mood and the seasons. The AO Japanese restaurant also offers, like the Izakayas of Tokyo, a menu of hot and cold Japanese tapas. During the week, discover authentic tempuras, sushi and Sashimi made to order by a Japanese chef. Typically Japanese Bentos are offered at lunch.

Champs-Élysées

About the restaurant

Le Cinq unveils itself behind two majestic wrought-iron doors. In this room with a classic Franco-English style, where excellence serves emotion, chef Christian Le Squer shapes a cuisine of products, modern, elegant, and constantly evolving. A distinguished culinary composition of the highest accolade, as Le Cinq has been awarded 3 Michelin stars since 2016.

Centered around seasonal ingredients sourced from small producers, the menu reflects the chef's Breton roots and Parisian inspirations. Among his signature dishes, Breton langoustines, gratinated onion soup, or line-caught sea bass with buttermilk from my childhood are must-tries. An explosion of tastes and flavors.

By his side, his accomplice Eric Beaumard, the iconic Restaurant Director and vice-world's best Sommelier, orchestrates high-flying service and supervises the cellar with 50,000 bottles that has made Le Cinq's worldwide reputation.

Champs-Élysées

About the restaurant

Adorned with sumptuous tapestries and 19th-century art objects, La Galerie is the heart and soul of the hotel. Set to the rhythm of a piano, it is the ideal place to share breakfast, indulge in a tea time and delicious pastry, enjoy an apéritif, or discover emblematic dishes of French gastronomy playfully reimagined with modern and creative touches.

For this ode to French culinary heritage, chef Alan Taudon has partnered with small producers nestled a few kilometers from Paris, meticulously selected for their responsible approach. Confit leek from Ile-de-France, Macaroni with black truffle shards, or Blue lobster are followed by with the most emblematic desserts of French pastry. Signed by chef Michael Bartocetti, the Vanilla Millefeuille, Paris-Brest, or Chocolate Soufflé are also highlighted. A menu to die for, for the delight of hotel residents and Parisian gourmet alike.
