Within a few steps of the Opera de Paris, restaurant Drouant offers refined cuisine from three-star Michelin Chef Antoine Westermann from Alsace. It is also the place where the prestigious Goncourt, Renaudot and Apollinaire literary awards are given each year in one of the dining salons, which must be accessed by climbing the magnificent Ruhlmann staircase. Renowned for their plateaus of shimmering oysters and brilliant Alsatian cuisine along with a well-stocked cellar of wines from that same region, and as an added bonus the front of house is in the hands of Antony Clemot who left Ile Saint Louis’s Mon Vieil Ami’s kitchen to become the manager.
