The unique charm of a Ritz Suite

Celebrating taste

From oven to plate, the culinary art of 15 Place Vendôme adapts itself to the rhythms of the festive season, inspired and guided by our chefs. To celebrate Christmas or the stroke of New Year, the tables of the Ritz Paris are set to Surrealist time, with gastronomic menus imagined by chefs Eugénie Béziat and Jérôme Legras. The Ritz Bar follows suit with a surreal cocktail of unexpected flavors dreamed up by Romain de Courcy. As for tea time, François Perret presents Thé à la Française in the cossetting surroundings of the Salon Proust, while in the Salon Marie-Louise Tea Time takes an Imperial turn, accompanied by the crystal-clear notes of the harp.
