Ralph’s – Paris, France
Imagine The Ivy transplanted to Paris and then add beautiful Parisian waiters – yes please! I was first recommended Ralph’s by an acquaintance that lived in Paris for years. And then I read mixed reviews online, some thought it to be overrated while others couldn’t give it enough praise. I already had a reservation for lunch and thought best to make my own opinion. It was lovely! Everything about it. Set in a beautiful outdoor courtyard in the middle of the Ralph Lauren store, it’s comfortable and so relaxing. The food did not disappoint either. We couldn’t resist the cute little lobster rolls for a starter (a special that day) and then I couldn’t resist the lobster salad. Stunning!
I have a hard time recommending lunch spots in Paris to friends simply because I find it fun to just stumble upon cute little bistros while out and about. This would be an exception though if you’re looking for a nice civilized break in the day. Reservations recommended. Enjoy!
