Masters of Food & Wine Paris Venues
Welcoming guests into a small gallery and six-meter “wine wall,” including a cigar and cheese cabinet, Le Pur’, boasts mahogany and soft-toned fabrics. The room showcases wood panels with original large abstract drawings by Viswanadhan, an Indian artist living in Paris since 1968. Anchoring the main dining room, a raised silver-leafed dome is located in the center and is surrounded by tables and a colonnaded rotunda.
Featuring two large Granet candelabras, black glass tables with bronze trim, and mahogany wall panels to contrast with the Parisian limestone’s sandy-beige tones, Le Bar offers an arty atmosphere and creative cocktails. Showcasing six paintings by Ed Paschke, known for his bright, striking images based on key principles of abstraction and expressionism, Le Bar is an ideal place for both international globetrotters and local Parisians alike.
Styled like a city garden bathed in sunlight, La Terrasse blends understated elegance and blissful luxury in a sophisticated setting. With its 100-year-old olive trees, this haven of peace compliments the intimate atmosphere of Le Bar.
