L'Ecrin Paris

L’Ecrin sits at 31 Rue de Richelieu. You will find it a five-minute walk from the Palais Royal and the Rue de Rivoli.

This restaurant holds a Michelin star and a Wine Spectator Excellence Award. It serves modern, creative French cuisine. While the dining room runs smart and elegant, its appeal lies in the quiet contrast it offers to the neighboring tourist thoroughfares. It is a more focused choice than the standard bistros found near the Jardin des Tuileries, which often prioritize turnover over the technical precision seen here. If you prefer a meal that prizes culinary rigor over the typical noise of the 1st arrondissement, this is where you go.
