Restaurants in Paris Benoit dinner

In the vibrant 4th arrondissement, just steps from Hôtel de Ville and Le Marais, Benoît embodies the very soul of the Parisian bistro. Founded in 1912, this legendary address is today the only Michelin-starred bistro in Paris, continuing to celebrate French culinary tradition under the guidance of world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse.

A timeless Belle Époque setting

From the moment you step inside, Benoît transports you to another era — a warm, authentic Belle Époque décor filled with polished wood, red velvet banquettes, golden mirrors, and monogrammed plates. A true Parisian institution, it combines heritage and hospitality, welcoming both locals and travelers seeking genuine and refined French cuisine.

Classic French cuisine elevated

Led by Chef Kelly Jolivet, Benoît revisits the great classics of the French bistro with precision and generosity. Signature dishes include snails with parsley butter, house-made pâté en croûte, veal head ravigote, traditional blanquette de veau, and irresistible desserts like the crispy millefeuille and Armagnac savarin.
Each dish is crafted with care — authentic, elegant, and true to Alain Ducasse’s culinary philosophy.

The art of Parisian hospitality

Benoît charms guests with its attentive service, well-curated wine list, and that rare sense of conviviality found only in true Parisian institutions. Whether for a refined lunch, a business dinner, or a romantic evening, Benoît offers an atmosphere that feels both intimate and celebratory. A private dining room upstairs is also available for exclusive gatherings.
