| www.destinationluxury.com « A gastronomic temple on the world's most beautiful Avenue » 75 Avenue des Champs Elysées Paris VIII David Holder and his father, Francis Holder, founder of the Holder Group, opened a new Ladurée tea salon and restaurant at 75 avenue des Champs-Elysées in September 1997. Their aim was to reproduce on the Champs-Elysées the refined atmosphere of their rue Royale establishment and to build a unique site, a symbol of the French « Art de vivre ». 365 days a year, from 7.30am to midnight, Ladurée serves breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and late supper for approximately 3000 clients daily. On the first floor, the 'Eiffel Veranda' and the outdoor terrace overlook the glamorous Champs Elysées avenue. The bar, very successful after 7pm, offers any time classic short and long drinks as well as wines and liquors. One can also sit at the bar for a quick lunch. On the second floor, the five cozy dining rooms, decorated in the 'Second Empire' refined style by the French interior designer Jacques Garcia, were dedicated to the 19th century Parisian muses "Paeva", "Castiglione", "Mathilde" but also la Bibliothèque (the Library) and La Chocolaterie (the Chocolate Factory). The menu of the restaurant is inspired by French regional cooking, as well as other cooking of the world, and is continuously evolving with the seasons and its creations.
