The story
On one of Paris's most storied streets, 114 Faubourg holds its own with quiet confidence. The restaurant sits at 114 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, a stretch of the 8th arrondissement long associated with craftsmanship and discernment. Wine Spectator recognized it with a Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 — a distinction reserved for restaurants whose wine programs go well beyond the expected, pairing depth of selection with genuine expertise in service.
The kitchen works within the French tradition, the kind of cooking that rewards attention without demanding explanation. Lunch and dinner service both draw a crowd that ranges from hotel guests seeking something memorable to Parisians who know the room well. The French cuisine here is not a backdrop — it is the point.
The Wine Spectator recognition speaks directly to the cellar. A Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out for a competent list; it signals a collection with range, depth, and the staff knowledge to navigate it. For guests who take wine seriously, that credential matters as much as anything on the plate.
