A blend of French and Southeast Asian cuisine.
Shangri-La Paris offers two distinct dining experiences, each with its own character. La Bauhinia sits beneath a luminous glass dome and blends French and Southeast Asian cuisine under Executive Chef Simon Havage, open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with weekend brunch and afternoon tea rounding out the offering. In summer, the garden terrace hosts a pop-up in collaboration with Lacoste, with a tennis-inspired menu of lobster rolls, truffle croque-monsieur, and a signature raspberry-pistachio crocodile dessert. Shang Palace, which opened in 2011 as the first of its kind in Europe, has built a formidable reputation for authentic Cantonese cuisine and collected numerous accolades since its debut.
Le Bar Botaniste at Shangri‑La Paris is a discreet and intimate cocktail lounge inspired by Prince Roland Bonaparte’s legendary herbarium and Napoleonic tapestry, designed by Pierre‑Yves Rochon in a lush, apothecary-chic style. The bar features botanical accents such as plants under glass cloches, vintage glassware, and an authentic absinthe fountain, creating a serene, secret-garden feel amidst plush leather seating and elegant chandeliers. Under the creative direction of head mixologists like Arnaud Thirel and later Pierre‑Marie Bisson and Clément Emery, the cocktail menu has evolved into an audacious botanical journey, with twenty-plus signature drinks crafted from rare spirits, spices, herbs, and techniques like sous‑vide, infusions, and compotes. Expect adventurous blends such as Japanese Samba (cachaça, umeshu, Bollinger rosé), Basse‑Terre (rum, raspberry, coriander, black cumin), and inventive formats served in bespoke vessels such as pots, shells, and even wood branches.
