THE MOST ANTICIPATED REVIVAL IN PARIS
Under the leadership of Laurent de Gourcuff, Paris Society is taking over Le Grand Véfour, an iconic institution of gastronomy and Parisian life, nestled in the heart of the Palais Royal.
Founded in the late 18th century, Le Grand Véfour is one of those rare places where the history of Paris has been written and continues to be written at the table. Frequented by figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Victor Hugo, and Colette, it embodies a French art of living at the crossroads of politics, culture, and gastronomy.
Listed as a historic monument, it is one of those addresses whose aura extends far beyond its primary function. Paris Society’s ambition is clear: to revive this landmark without freezing it in time, to restore its place as a vibrant destination in today’s Paris, deeply respecting its heritage while reconnecting it with a sense of contemporary desire.

Bruno Doucet
To lead the culinary direction of Le Grand Véfour, Paris Society has chosen for the first time in its history to build the project in close collaboration with a chef. The meeting with Bruno Doucet felt like an obvious choice. Trained in some of the finest establishments and renowned for his work at La Régalade, he champions a French cuisine that is sincere, refined, and exacting.
His approach is rooted in exceptional ingredients, precision in cooking, and an uncompromising sense of taste. At Le Grand Véfour, he envisions a cuisine where craftsmanship regains its full expression, particularly in the dining room, through carving, service, and interaction, in keeping with the great tradition of French restaurants.
An elegant, embodied cuisine, deeply anchored in its time. A cuisine conceived as an experience, where tradition and modernity engage in a natural dialogue.
