Ask the Concierge: Paris

31 March 2009

Adrian Moore, Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, France.

I take visitors for a drink at...
Le Forum, an American-style bar with a fabulous selection of spirits and cocktails, Hotel du Nord on Canal Saint-Martin for a bohemian vibe, or Mathis Bar near the Champs-Elysées.

A great Parisian restaurant is…
For old school, Le Pharamond, with its turn-of-the-century decor and dishes such as côte de boeuf and vol au vent, the Relais de l’Entrecote for steak and frites, and authentic gastro bistros such as Chez l’Ami Jean.

For designer fashion, I recommend…
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Avenue Montaigne and Bon Marché department store, and Colette and L’Eclaireur for cutting-edge fashion.

For the perfect gift, I’d shop at...
Patrick Roger for chocolates, Pierre Hermé for macaroons, and Kronometry for rare timepieces.

For a romantic dinner, consider…
Pré Catelan, Ledoyen or Taillevent.

For great art, I’d be heading to…
Rue Louise Weiss, Emmanuel Perrotin or Galerie Jerome de Noirmont.

If it’s raining…
Browse books at La Hune or drink tea at La Maison des Trois Thés.
