The Laurent is a veritable institution in Paris.
The building started life as a hunting lodge, then became a dance hall during the Revolution, and was restored in 1842 by the German-born architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorff, commissioned at that time by King Louis Philippe to plan the Champs-Elysées. The name of the premises came from its third owner who, in 1860, gave his first name to the famous restaurant.

The Restaurant Laurent and Philippe Bourguignon go back a long way.
He arrived at the restaurant as head sommelier in 1977 and just a year later was named best sommelier in France: aged but 27. Then, in 2002, he took over the management of the restaurant skilfully combining a sense of professionalism with courtesy, attentiveness and discretion. He is still passionate about wine and is a member of the Académie du Vin and visiting speaker at the Ecole Polytechnique.
