Elegance and discretion have always been the watchwords of the most distinguished of the major brasseries. At the "Boeuf" people meet for a quick lunch at the bar or to take time out to savor a seafood platter amongst friends.
At the end of the posh avenue Montaigne, on the busy Place de l’Alma and with a remarkable view of the Eiffel Tower, is the long established brasserie, Chez Francis. The well-restored 1900’s decor includes vermillon velvet drapes, burr elm paneling, and crystal chandeliers.
