showcasing a century-old culinary arta gourmet philosophy
Le Grand Café Fauchon, the restaurant at Fauchon L’Hôtel Paris, celebrates gastronomy in the heart of Place de la Madeleine, in Paris’s 8th arrondissement.
At the helm, Chef Baptiste Limouzin creates contemporary French cuisine guided by quality ingredients, seasonality and creative daring. His signature approach draws on FAUCHON’s historic and iconic products to create new pairings and bring the Maison’s gastronomic heritage to the plate.
As the seasons change, the Chef creates a cuisine where seasonal ingredients, French savoir-faire and FAUCHON creations come together.
Celebrating 140 years of heritage in 2026, Maison FAUCHON makes Le Grand Café Fauchon a contemporary expression of its art of gourmet dining.
THE CUISINE OF THE CHEF BAPTISTE LIMOUzIN
A native of Paris but a Charente native at heart, Chef Baptiste Limouzin trained under Chef Hélène Darroze at The Connaught in London, then under Chef Guillaume Goupil at Burgundy. He then joined Chef Julien Roucheteau, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, at La Scène Thélème, before following him to La Réserve de Beaulieu in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
Working alongside them, Baptiste Limouzin developed a culinary style rooted in regional ingredients and French expertise. At Le Grand Café Fauchon, he creates contemporary, seasonal, and decidedly indulgent French cuisine, where simplicity, finesse, and creativity put the ingredients front and center.
