France, Paris, "Fouquet's", a historic high-end brasserie at the corner of the Champs-Élysées & George V avenues, in 1899 founded by Louis Fouquet. The menu continues the tradition of classic French cuisine & is also famous for its red awnings spreading over the two terraces.

The restaurant is listed as a historical French monument since 1990. The historical decor includes mahogany wood panelling. Harcourt portraits of famous actresses & actors, a discrete brass plaques indicate the preferred tables of famous people. Today a silver napkin rings with their name engraved has replaced the brass plaques tradition.

 

In 1998, Fouquet's was purchased by the casinos operator Groupe Barrière & since 1989 part of the "Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris". The family owned French group created Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris by acquiring buildings around the brasserie & inaugurated other Fouquet's restaurants, in Toulouse, Courchevel, Cannes, La Baule, Enghien-les-Bains, Montreux & Marrakech.
