Restaurants Near Crazy Horse, Paris

Fouquet's

• Fouquet's, on the corner of Avenue George V and the Champs-Elysées, is a historical monument and favorite showbiz haunt (plaques inscribed with the names of César award winners line the sidewalk by the entrance). The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, chose to celebrate his election victory at Fouquet's. The chef, Jean-Yves Leuranguer, prepares French specialties with a creative touch. Because of Fouquet's showbiz connection, the dishes often refer to world of cinema. For example, there's Whiting, Colbert style, a favorite of actor Robert Hossein; Jean Todt's lobster ravioli; or the César award chocolate desert.

Marius et Janette

Devèz

• Devèz gets its name from "devèses," the green pastures in the Aubrac region situated up to 1400 meters high above sea level. The restaurant's specialty, unsurprisingly, is Aubrac beef prepared in every possible manner --- as a stew, roasted, or grilled à la plancha. Devèz's wine cellar is well stocked, particularly with wines from the Rhône valley and Languedoc Roussilon.
