Kei Restaurant
Editor's Pick
Restaurant Intimate Precise Ceremonial
Classical & Refined
Saint-Honoré & Palais-Royal
Palais-Royal + Tuileries + Vendôme, Le Grand Véfour, Kei, the colonnade-and-courtyard register.
The 1er holds the Palais-Royal arcades, the Tuileries garden, the Comédie Française, the Place Vendôme jewellers and the Louvre's eastern wing, Paris's fine-dining nucleus from Le Grand Véfour (the colonnade restaurant since 1784) to Kei Kobayashi's three Michelin stars on rue du Coq-Héron. The rue Saint-Honoré itself runs almost the length of the arrondissement: Colette's old corner, the Hôtel Costes lobby, Aux Lyonnais. The traveller uses the 1er for the lunch that turns into an afternoon at a museum, and the dinner that books across the courtyard from a centuries-old colonnade.
