La Scène
A two-star Michelin showcase of contemporary French gastronomy in the heart of Paris’ elegant VIII arrondissement
Located just steps from the Champs-Élysées and Hôtel de Matignon, La Scène blends intimate, theater-like interiors with a meticulously choreographed dining experience. The atmosphere is the one of a small theatre – descending a few steps into the intimate dining room, it becomes clear that the name of the venue (La Scène, meaning “the stage”) is entirely fitting.
Chef Stéphanie Le Quellec’s menus, presented as multi-course “acts,” showcase bold flavors crafted with precision, often revisiting her signature dishes such as caviar, French toast, and Pompadour apple. Pastry chef Pierre Chirac complements the savory program with exquisite desserts, highlighting distinct tasting notes like dual-origin Tahiti and Madagascar vanilla. A carefully curated wine selection, including magnums and jeroboams by the glass, completes the experience, while a professional, attentive team ensures seamless service. At lunchtime, a seasonal menu offers a lighter but equally refined taste of the chef’s artistry.
