Michelin Restaurants near the Champs-Élysées: 36 Picks
On the Champs-Élysées itself, most tables are chains and pricey terraces selling the view. Yet the streets around it hold more Michelin restaurants than any other part of Paris. The hard part is telling a long palace ceremony from a counter where the chef cooks right in front of you.

Choosing a Michelin restaurant near the Champs-Élysées
Almost every table here sits in the top price range, so the real choice is the format. Here's the lay of the land.
The palace tables
The Golden Triangle is palace territory. Le Cinq, at the Four Seasons George V, and Epicure, at Le Bristol on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, both hold three stars, as do Pierre Gagnaire and Alléno Paris. Le Taillevent keeps its meat carts and its 4,000-reference cellar in a 19th-century hôtel particulier. Le Clarence, on avenue Franklin Roosevelt, serves land-and-sea menus from €150 to €430 across the salons of a mansion. Compare them with the rest of the 3-star and 2-star restaurants.
Starred, but relaxed
You don't have to dress up. Pavyllon, Yannick Alléno's counter at the Pavillon Ledoyen, cooks cheese soufflé and Racan pigeon on teppanyaki grills in front of you. At Le George, in the Four Seasons, Simone Zanoni serves Mediterranean dishes in half portions, like his onion tarte tatin. La Scène, on avenue Matignon, pairs its two-star dining room with a more casual bistro. For more polished tables, browse our upscale restaurants.
Good value, even here
Mandoobar holds a Bib Gourmand for its Korean dumplings and tartares, made live at the counter. Le Mermoz, a few steps from the Champs-Élysées, is a neo-bistro with natural wine and a crème brûlée with vin jaune. See the Bib Gourmand list for more good-value Michelin picks, and our wine bars for an easy evening.
Before you book
Palace restaurants book out weeks ahead, and some close at the weekend or open only a few days a week (Le Clarence serves Wednesday to Saturday), so check the hours on each place page. Lunch menus are the gentlest way in. Walking between the Arc de Triomphe and the Concorde? Open the map to see which starred table is closest, or cross the Seine to the 7th arrondissement.
