Fouquet's
Fouquet's (also known by its French popular name, le Fouquet's) is a historic restaurant in Paris, France. It is located at 99 Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Fouquet's was founded in 1899. In 1998 Fouquet's was purchased by the company Groupe Lucien Barrière. In 2007 Groupe Lucien Barrière opened two more Fouquet's restaurants, in Cannes and Toulouse.
Fouquet's specializes in high standing brasserie Parisian dishes.
Once per year Fouquet's is, traditionally, the restaurant where those granted the César Awards feast their victories with the "meal of the winners". For this event, the floor of the main entrance is fully covered with metal plates bearing the names of the winners.
The restaurant is also a symbol of luxury and wealth. On May 7, 2007, for example, French president Nicolas Sarkozy celebrated his electoral victory dining chez Fouquet's.
