Lucas Carton

Lucas Carton has occupied 9 place de la Madeleine since 1839, and the Majorelle Art Nouveau woodwork is a classified Historic Monument. Chef Hugo Bourny — who succeeded Julien Dumas in 2021 — runs a one-Michelin programme defined by aromatic, spice-led, vegetable-leaning composition that deliberately echoes the room's Art Nouveau geometry on the plate. A bistro counterpart was added on the ground floor, but the upstairs gastronomic room is the reason you book — it is one of the few places in Paris where the architecture, the menu register and the service tempo all line up to a single decade somewhere between 1900 and now.
