The Paris Address Book
Three tables we keep returning to. A short list for the evenings when Paris does the styling for you.
Paris is where we learned that a room can be jewelry. These are the three tables we send everyone to, written short, because the rooms say the rest.
Sphère @ Paris 8e
A quiet dining room that treats light the way we treat gold, carefully and in small amounts. Come at eight, order slowly, and watch the plates arrive like set stones.
Café de la Paix @ Opéra
Painted ceilings, gilded mirrors, and breakfast as an occasion. This is where we wear the pieces that deserve a mirror on every wall.
Le Grand Véfour @ Palais-Royal
Velvet, gilt, and two centuries of dinners under the arcades of the Palais-Royal. We go for the room first and let the menu argue with it. The room usually wins.

Wear gold in Paris. The city already agrees with it.
