First opened in 1899 as a watering hole for carriage drivers of the wealthy and sylish Parisians who frequented the "Most Beautiful Avenue in the world," the Champs-Elysées in its heyday, this brasserie is still an icon. Over the centuries it has become even more famous not just for its lively bar but also for its quality, even gastronomic, fare, as well as the VIP clientele who are loyal habitués.
This is where the Césars, the French Film Academy awards, holds its official dinners every year and the link between cinematic stars and Fouquet's is an unbreakable bond here in France.
The bar is cosy and serves classic cocktails as well as boasting a cellar of 350 different brands of France's top wines.
