PRACTICAL INFORMATION L’Opéra Restaurant Tél: 01 4268 8680
Going beyond the typical “eat local” food trend, the restaurant will serve honey from bees kept atop the building. And the food? Chef Christopher Aribert, who possesses two Michelin stars, and Yann Tanneau have created a menu that blends traditional and modern dishes priced in the neighborhood of 40 euros for lunch and 60 euros for dinner, according to Pierre-François Blanc.
L’Opéra will have 170 seats inside on two levels and another 180 on the terrace located opposite the new Apple computer store. Some have described the interiors as resembling the 2011 Anish Kapoor “Monumenta” exhibition held at the Grand Palais museum. Add in dramatic lighting and huge white undulating glass panels to create a “wow” first impression when entering the former side door used for season subscribers and VIPs. Odile Decq designed a striking décor that appears in architectural renderings as a hovering white cloud above bars and dining areas with brilliant red banquettes, tables and chairs. “All our facilities, piers, mezzanines and equipment were integrated into the site without touching the stones,” Pierre-Francois Blanc was quoted as saying in le JDD. As in the US, working within construction limitations and standards applied to French historic buildings is challenging. Owners Jean-Philippe and Pierre-François Blanc invested six million euros in creating L’Opéra, the new restaurant-lounge located in the former palace listed on the National Commission of Historical Monuments.
