In Paris, Fashion Week is also experienced behind the catwalks and played out at the table! In these establishments, luxury is expressed discreetly, without names being mentioned (confidentiality obliges), but rather through dishes that have become cult favourites among celebrities, stylists and international talents. Recipes designed to seduce without weighing you down and impress without excess. From white Alba truffles to meticulously prepared Japanese-Peruvian dishes, these dishes embody an elegant and strategic Parisian art of living with a certain off-camera standing.
Pavillon de la Reine – Restaurant Anne: chestnut cappuccino with white Alba truffles
In the heart of the Marais, the Pavillon de la Reine cultivates this secret luxury. As ‘a little something extra’, its restaurant Anne is one of those places where celebrities meet without ever showing themselves. Among the most popular dishes is the delicate, enveloping and deeply seasonal chestnut cappuccino with white Alba truffles. A dish that is as reassuring as it is impressive, perfect for those seeking comfort worthy of a classic reinterpreted with precision.
Matsuhisa Paris: Yellowtail jalapeño, a pre-show fashion ritual
Located within the Royal Monceau Raffles Paris, Matsuhisa Paris has become an almost obligatory stop during Fashion Week. The star dish? Yellowtail jalapeño, the absolute icon of Nobu cuisine: raw, precise, ultra-light. Ideal for lunch before a show, as it ticks all the boxes: energy, freshness and elegance. In the kitchen, Emanuele Bombardier, who trained for over fifteen years with Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, offers a masterful interpretation of Peruvian-Japanese cuisine. A dish that has become the unofficial uniform of Fashion Week.
Angelina: the club sandwich, a new form of street smart elegance
A renowned institution located on Rue de Rivoli, Angelina continues to seduce the international fashion scene. In the Golden Triangle and at the centre of the fashion show venues, one of the most popular items on the menu is the Club Sandwich, which has become a statement in itself. It is a deceptively simple choice, as it reflects an attention to the body, rhythm and image. A perfectly calibrated tasting for a day of shows.
Lapérouse: rigatoni with caviar, timeless glamour
A stone's throw from the Champs-Élysées, Lapérouse embodies a cuisine that is more classic Parisian chic. Its signature dish during Fashion Week: rigatoni with caviar, priced at €105. A spectacular, confident, almost cinematic dish. The ultimate goal? To convey an idea of French glamour that is opulent and reassuring.

A stone's throw from the Alma, the Four Seasons George V discreetly welcomes models and designers. Far from the flashbulbs, but at the heart of the action, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the Champs-Elysées. Over lunch and a few makeup touch-ups, the frutti di mare ravioli is the ideal refuge during Fashion Week. An elegant and masterful dish, designed for those who go from fittings to fashion shows without wanting to give up pleasure. The gentle flavours of the sea and a touch of caviar bring a subtle and discerning tone to those who appreciate precision. A signature dish by Simone Zanoni, offering comforting cuisine; an extra treat, even at the height of the rush.
