Mandarin Oriental, Paris

Modern Chic City of Gastronomy

Opened in 2011, Mandarin Oriental, Paris is situated on rue SaintHonoré and just steps from the Louvre and Place Vendôme, one of the most stylish districts in the world. The hotel is also surrounded by haute couture, including Chanel flagship, and only steps from highend galleries and auction houses. The chic luxury of Paris and the gentle Eastern beauty inherent in Mandarin Oriental have blended well and created a unique staying experience.

In addition to 138 guestrooms/suites, the best places to experience the hotel service and the theme of the perfect meeting of the Eastern and Western are definitely the hotel restaurants and bars.

Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx 

The allwhite Michelin two star restaurant is the place to go for the fashionable visitors in Paris. Along with many top restaurants in the city, the restaurant is designed by JouinManku design studio. The white space is inspired by Paris high fashion.

On entering, guests discover an intimate allwhite cocoon, which acts as a blank canvas for the menu. By draping the walls and ceiling with white fabric, we have created an impression of weightless clouds, while in the center lies an elliptic crystal seemingly suspended in midair. The restaurant is also equipped with JouinManku studio designed tableware made exclusively for the hotel, with the white and gold French porcelain echoing the theme of pure and French haute couture.

In this elegant and stylish venue, guests will enjoy the chic dishes provided by chef Thierry Marx. Marx is the most influential French molecular cuisine practitioner, and he himself is very fond of Asian culture. He combines technology, seasonal ingredients and oriental aesthetics to create a new sensory feast. Even the small details are full of surprises, such as the menus that are printed on Japanese rice paper. His use of modern molecular cooking technology also presents elegant Oriental flavor.

The restaurant serves 58 course lunch and 69 course dinner menu. The classic cuisine includes diced soybeans risotto, shellfish mousse and roe sauce antipasto. Now with a glass of champagne prepared by sommelier David Biraud, the perfect life in Paris is complete.

The Garden of Caméli

Different from Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx, Caméli is a casual allday restaurant. The most popular spot is no doubt the birdcageshaped La Table du Jardin. Here you may enjoy French cuisine influenced by the culinary traditions of Japan with your friends in an oasis like heaven. The recommendation goes to Calamar risoni made with squid ink, tagliatelle of cuttlefish and crunchy vegetables.

Cake Shop

Mandarin Oriental is famous for its cake shops around the world. Mandarin Oriental, Paris stands on rue SaintHonoré, named after the patron saint of bakers and pastrymakers. Naturally then, the signature pastry is called Le SaintHonoré. These delicacies are created by Pastry Chef David Landriot, who once travelled to discover Singapore and China. He made the highlypopular new French desserts through the improved traditional formula.

Happy Hour in Bar 8

A sip of cocktail, and a bite of street food, this is the one and only happy hour in Bar 8.

The recommended cocktails are J’aime Paris 3.0, and Mandarule, mixed with Hendrick’s Gin,tarragon, passion fruit and ginger beer.
