The best luxury restaurants in Paris in 2026 start with Le Cinq at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, which has held three Michelin stars for about ten years. We rechecked every restaurant from the old list against the 2026 Michelin Guide listings. Four did not make it: Apicius at the Hotel Schneider, MiniPalais, Gordon Ramsay au Trianon and Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athenee. In their place we added three-star addresses that earn a luxury booking today. We rank by star level first, then by setting and price.

| 1 | Le Cinq, Four Seasons George V | 3 | Roughly EUR 350 to 500 per person, tasting menu |

| 10 | Le Grand Colbert | Brasserie, no stars | Menus reported from about EUR 28 to 35 |
10. Le Grand Colbert
Le Grand Colbert is a historic Parisian brasserie near the Palais Royal in a listed monument building, and it is the only entry here that does not hold a star. It keeps its place for atmosphere and value, with continuous service from noon to midnight every day.
A 2025 review lists an indicative price of about EUR 24 to 33 per person without drinks, and another source mentions menus starting at EUR 28. Prices are approximate, so check before you book.
9. Le Jules Verne, Eiffel Tower
Le Jules Verne is on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and is run by chef Frederic Anton, who took over in 2019. It won a first Michelin star in January 2020 and a second in March 2024, a first for the Tower.
Reported 2026 prices vary by source: dinner tasting menus run from about EUR 255 to EUR 330 and lunch is cheaper. Reservations open about 90 days ahead and the restaurant booking does not include the viewing deck, which is bought separately.
8. Guy Savoy
Guy Savoy earned its third star in 2002 and was demoted to two in the 2023 guide, and the 2026 table still shows two stars. It remains one of the best-known tables in the city.
We did not find a current menu price, so check the restaurant directly.
7. L’Ambroisie
L’Ambroisie, in the Marais, was the oldest three-star restaurant in Paris. In March 2026 it lost its third star and now holds two.
It still ranks for its history and setting, but we put it below the three-star tables on this list.
6. Kei
Kei, near the Louvre, is a three-star address. It is a French restaurant led by Japanese chef Kei Kobayashi.
We did not find a published 2026 menu price.
5. Alleno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen
Chef Yannick Alleno’s restaurant sits in the Pavillon Ledoyen near the Champs-Elysees and is rated three stars. Its sister restaurant L’Abysse, a Japanese concept in the same building, holds two.
Prices are available on request.
4. Arpege
Arpege, in the 7th arrondissement, also has three stars. It is the restaurant of chef Alain Passard.
We did not confirm a current price.
3. Pierre Gagnaire
Pierre Gagnaire, near the Champs-Elysees, has three stars and is among the most established three-star addresses in the 8th arrondissement.
Check the restaurant for current menus and prices.
2. Epicure at Le Bristol
Epicure is the three-star restaurant of the Hotel Le Bristol Paris. A 2026 review lists an indicative price of EUR 360 to 490 per person without drinks and notes that chef Arnaud Faye is taking over from Eric Frechon.
The restaurant has held three stars across the years in our table.
1. Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V
Le Cinq holds three stars and the Four Seasons says it marks ten years at that level under chef Christian Le Squer. The George V holds six stars across three restaurants in the 2026 guide.
Secondary sources put the tasting menu at roughly EUR 350 to 500 per person before wine. The room is known for gilded decor, flowers and seasonal French cooking with Japanese technique.
Gone or unconfirmed: removed from the list
Apicius at the Hotel Schneider: the guide lists a one-star restaurant called Apicius, but we could not confirm that it still operates in the old mansion, so we dropped the entry.
MiniPalais at the Grand Palais: we could not confirm that the restaurant is still operating.
Gordon Ramsay au Trianon: we found no current listing under this name.
Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athenee: the guide table shows the old three-star restaurant as closed after the 2021 change of name and ownership.
