The restaurant’s history is inextricably linked with that of one man: René Lasserre. The “bistrot hangar” built for the Universal Exposition in 1937 rapidly became one of the French capital’s most prestigious venues. Its Gala evenings were attended by such luminaries as Marc Chagal, Salvador Dali, Audrey Hepburn and Romy Schneider. Among the restaurant’s habitués, André Malraux left a lasting impression, with the celebrated “André Malraux pigeon”. The dining room is a carefully designed stage on which the serving staff’s elegant ballet is performed, graced by the magical appearance of stars through the famous opening ceiling decorated by the painter Touchagues. The ground floor salons, featuring 18th century-style décor, have a flexible layout and can accommodate up to 50 people.
