Champs-Élysées Restaurants: 52 Places Worth the Price
The Champs-Élysées is the most famous avenue in the world and one of the worst places in Paris to pick a restaurant at random: chains, flagship stores and terraces that charge for the address, not the food. Walk two blocks into the side streets, though, and you reach the Golden Triangle, home to more great tables than almost any other part of the city.
These 52 places around the Champs-Élysées were cross-checked across Michelin, The World's 50 Best and Le Fooding. Here for the stars? Jump to the Michelin restaurants in the 8th. Want a treat without a tasting menu? See our macarons.

Champs-Élysées restaurants: spend it where it counts
Let's be honest about budget: almost everything in the 8th sits at the very top of the price scale. So the goal isn't to find a bargain on the avenue, it's to make sure an expensive meal is a great one. The price filter and the map above help you spot the few mid-priced exceptions.
Palace tables
The 8th's palace hotels hold some of the most celebrated kitchens in France. Le Cinq, at the Four Seasons Hôtel George V, is Christian Le Squer's three-star table; try the truffle spaghetti gratin. Epicure, at Le Bristol, holds three stars too. In the same George V, Le George serves starred Mediterranean cooking in half portions, so you can taste more of the menu. See all Michelin 3-star restaurants and upscale restaurants.
Private mansions and big names
Le Clarence, two stars, cooks modern French food with Italian touches in a 19th-century hôtel particulier. Le Taillevent pairs its cooking with a 4,000-bottle cellar and flambéed crêpes Suzette. At Pierre Gagnaire, each course arrives as a constellation of small satellite dishes. At Pavyllon, in the Pavillon Ledoyen, you eat starred food at a counter facing the chefs; request those seats. For the full list, see our Michelin 2-star selection.
The mid-priced exceptions
Mandoobar is the 8th's best-value counter: Kim Kwang-Loc folds Korean mandoo and dresses tartares in front of you, with a Bib Gourmand to show for it. Le Mermoz, steps from the Champs-Élysées, is a neo-bistrot with natural wines and a crème brûlée with vin jaune. Find more in our Bib Gourmand and Korean restaurants pages.
Sweet, then showtime
Ladurée on the Champs-Élysées is where the double-decker macaron was born; book for tea time. Crazy Horse is also on the list if the night calls for a show, see our dinner shows. Afterwards, walk to Trocadéro in the 16th or north into the 17th.
