About Le Georges Restaurant



The Georges restaurant in Paris is in a unique location on the top floor of the Centre Georges Pompidou with its fabulous panoramic views over the city of lights and was designed and produced by Dominique Jakob and Brendan McFarlane.

First opened in the year 2000 it was designed to be futuristic and in keeping with the ideas first perceived for the Pompidou Centre, yet with its surreal and geometric lines combined with different coves and the light and transparency, Le Georges gourmet restaurant is a great place to relax in a unique and unusual atmosphere.

Even though the dining room itself is minimalistic with lots of white, angular furniture, opaque glass table tops and a single rose positioned on each table, there are also the alcoves and rooms that seem to appear out of nowhere, which are great if you would like a more intimate experience.

The bar at Le Georges is called the Pink Bar due to its colouring, which has been designed within an alcove inside the restaurant and offers a fantastic range of different cocktails to enjoy before your a la carte meal.

But wherever you sit in the main terrace style dining room, you can be sure to get fabulous views of Paris due to the amount of large glass windows that provide a fantastic backdrop, yet the dining experience is even better during an evening with the subtle lighting inside and the city beyond all glittering with its illuminations.

Cuisine at Georges Restaurant at the Pompidou Centre



The gourmet cuisine served at Le Georges Restaurant in Paris is innovative and what is often classed as fusion cuisine, and on the a la carte menu you could have French food delights such as roasted figs with arugula and parmesan or fresh green beans with olive oil, sherry and balsamic.
But for even more elaborate starters you could opt for a lobster salad with herbs or king crab with lettuce and lime, Thai style chicken spring roll, yet perhaps duck foie gras or snails are more to your liking.  And the starters range in cost from €14 up to around €30 unless you go for something such as caviar that could cost approximately €80.

When it comes to the main dish you could choose a fish course such as prawn risotto, a spicy grilled tuna like a Tataki, grilled turbot or steamed organic salmon,  to name a few, whereas meat dishes could be grilled fillet beef with bearnaise sauce, Peking duck or chicken with golden curry and chutney.

Yet there are many other options such as eggs Benedict with either bacon or salmon, even a club sandwich or burger, yet some options are only available until 7pm, however, to give you an idea, the cost for a main course is from around €20 up to about €48.
