Restaurants in 1-st Arrondissement

L'Escargot

Great restaurant located near Les Halles, serving many french classics including escargots & frog legs. The decor of this restaurant is also delightful. They have a great wine selection.

Les Marmottes
@lesfrenchies
If you love gooey cheese, this place is for you. Les Marmottes offers an Alpine ambiance and some of the best Raclette and Fondue around. But save room for the regional desserts and after dinner drinks.

Right behind La Samaritaine Department Store and just a quick walk from Le Louvre, this restaurant has great food. We tried the Duck Confit and for dessert, their Tarte Tatin with Pears was amazing.
