We stopped by the flagship Rue de Rivoli location right by Place de la Concorde for breakfast. We arrived right around 9:30 AM and walked straight in with zero wait. Talk about great timing, by the time we sat down and looked outside, a huge line had already wrapped down the sidewalk. The decor is beautiful and timeless, pure classic French elegance with the chandeliers, mirrors, and gilded details. We were seated upstairs on the second floor, which gave us a lovely, relaxed vantage point away from the entrance rush. We ordered their breakfast set, which came loaded with two flaky croissants, fresh baguette with butter and jams, two eggs Benedict, fresh juice, and, of course, their legendary chocolat chaud africain. That hot chocolate is as thick, rich, and velvety as advertised, almost like drinking liquid ganache. We also couldn't leave without ordering their famous chestnut Mont-Blanc pastry, which was silky, sweet, and totally lived up to the hype. Even though the dining room filled up quickly and was bustling, the staff was attentive, polished, and very efficient. Loved the entire experience from start to finish, an absolute treat!

I believe there are two locations, and from what I understand, they don't take reservations, so be prepared to arrive early and wait in line. We arrived around 9:30 AM with a party of five girls and waited about 20 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The menu is extensive, but they also offer three brunch options that I thought were very reasonably priced. I went with the €45 option, and there was SO much food! Pastries, a breakfast croissant, their famous hot chocolate, and even dessert--it was the perfect amount and such a fun way to try a little bit of everything. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. And I absolutely loved the slow, relaxed Parisian pace. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Instead, we were able to sit back, enjoy our food, and really soak in the experience. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a must-try for a Parisian brunch experience!

From the moment you are taken back to the whole dining experience to when you leave you feel a certain way that you really can't put a price on.

Want to get treated like royalty, then do yourself a favor and add this location to your list! That omelette may look plain but i promise you it was one of the fluffiest omelettes i have ever tried. The bread service was spectacular and the hot chocolate compared to many of the other viral places. Now for my romance girlies that enjoy great photo ops, this place has so many! Even a mirrored staircase perfect for photos! I came here to celebrate my birthday brunch and I believe it to be a great place for any special occasion!

THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ THEEEEEE gold standard for macarons in Paris ... or anywhere for that matter. + Macarons here are a little crisp, a little pillowy softness and a whollllllle bunch of flavor. - It cost a pretty penny (about 3 Euros for 1 piece), but you won't regret it for a second when you bite into one of these addictively delicious treats. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + All class, top notch white glove service - literally - they handle the macarons with much care like it were gold! THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ + Located in the heart of the Champs-Élysées on Rue Lincoln, so, YES, it is busy like rush hour outside ... and inside. + There are 2 sides to this massive flagship location - you can either make a purchase of macarons at their store OR dine/sit down in their tea house. Both have lines to wait on, but making a purchase only takes about 10 minutes on a weekend, while dining in looks like an unimaginable wait! + The store to make a macaron purchase at has 3 tables to sit around to enjoy your purchase of delicious macarons. You MUST catch someone about to leave (like we did) in order to snag a table. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- = Expect waits on a weekend afternoon, especially to sit down in the tea room. If you just make a store purchase, it's only about a 10 minute wait ... and you'll be thanking your legs for that. = It's a tourist destination in itself, so expect LOTS of people taking photos of this location. CONCLUSION ----------------------- = Yes, I'm from the tri-state area and they've had a Laduree in NYC since 2011, but there's alwayyyyys something special about going to one of the originals and this spot is no different.

We got a pot but they didn't fill it all the way so we all only got 1 cup. And then she came with the bill trying to kick us out 5 minutes later when we still had 5 minutes to go. 13€ it cost.

The attention to detail at Four Seasons, any Four Seasons, is always out of this world and George V is definitely in my top 3 and I've been to many! Fresh Mandarin Juice - Our waitress was raving about it so we couldn't pass up and wow. It was possibly the freshest and most delicious juice I've ever had. I was expecting a bit of tartness but it was absolutely delicious and sweet! We had to ask her if it was sweetened in any way and she said "No, it's freshly squeezed!." We were hooked. 5/5. French Toast (or toast?! Haha!) - Was divine! *said in Cam's voice*. Was lightly caramelized which gave it a nice crunch yet still moist. 5/5. Scrambled Eggs - I know they're just scrambled eggs but again with FS's magic touches it was amazing. I'm the type of person who likes to put ketchup on their eggs but you definitely didn't need anything at all on this. It was so deliciously creamy. Quite creamy that even my psoriasis flared up but it was definitely worth it. 5/5. Blue Lobster Omelette - My friend's been raving about this for ever and I've been dreaming of it since. If you've ever seen A Hundred Foot Journey, that scene with the chef trying to make the best omelette will likely bring you back to that scene. Definitely Michelin rating worthy. It was about the size of a burrito with a very generous amount of lobster and eggs perfectly cooked. It was so simple looking yet it was rich with flavour. This omelette alone made this breakfast the best one of our Euro trip, possibly even my life. Not easy on the wallet but worth every Euro. If you're curious, this is about $100 CAD. Call me crazy but I'd pay for it again. 5/5.
