Fouquet's Paris is a historic brasserie restaurant in Paris, France. It is located at 99 Avenue des Champs-Élysées and is part of Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris. The menu, developed with Chef Pierre Gagnaire, continues the tradition of classic French cuisine.

This historical setting opens up to two terraces, right on the Champs-Elysées and George V avenues.

History

Fouquet's brasserie was founded in 1899 by Louis Fouquet. Since 1990, the main room is listed as a historical French monument (Inventaire des Monuments Historiques).

In 1998, Fouquet's was purchased by Groupe Barrière. Groupe Barrière inaugurated six other Fouquet's restaurants, in Cannes, Toulouse, Courchevel, La Baule, Marrakech and Enghien-les-Bains.

Once per year Fouquet's hosts the traditional gala dinner for the César Awards, French equivalent of the Oscar.

On May 7, 2007, French president Nicolas Sarkozy celebrated his electoral victory dining at Fouquet's.[1]
