On December 24, 2026, Peninsula Paris will offer three Christmas dinners: in the Lobby for €285, at LiLi for €298, and at L’Oiseau Blanc for €610, exclusive of drinks. Discover the ambiance, hours, and menus.

On December 24, 2026, the Peninsula Paris offers three ways to spend the Christmas Eve dinner at table. At the Lobby, dinner starts at 7:00 p.m. and costs €285 per person. The LiLi welcomes guests from 6:30 p.m. around a Cantonese menu at €298. On the sixth floor, L’Oiseau Blanc serves a five-course tasting menu from 7:00 p.m., at €610. In the three restaurants, these prices are exclusive of drinks.

To choose, it all depends on the kind of evening you’re after. On the ground floor, Le Lobby introduces the palace’s historic decor, restored by French artisans, and a menu crafted by David Bizet and his team. Oysters kick off the meal, followed by foie gras, turbot, and volaille Culoiseau with black truffle, before a citrusy winter dessert. It’s the cheapest option of the three, delivering a festive sequence of dishes in a heritage setting.

Also on the ground floor, LiLi blends Asian influences with Haussmannian elegance in a theatrically charged setting. Chefs Tak Lau Yuen and David Bizet pair Cantonese tradition with French creativity. The Christmas Eve dinner begins with a selection of essentials and dim sum, followed by hot-and-sour soup, steamed scallops, roasted sea bream, and udon noodles with crab and caviar. This tasting journey lets you choose a festive feast where Cantonese techniques and flavors take center stage.

At L’Oiseau Blanc, dinner unfolds on the palace rooftop, offering a view over Paris’s rooftops to the Eiffel Tower. David Bizet’s tasting menu, winner of two Michelin stars, features five courses built around the Créances carrot with caviar, black truffle, sea bass, and roasted hen. The décor pays homage to aviators Nungesser and Coli, with a replica of their biplane. The panoramic setting and the tasting format mark this as the third option.

All three restaurants are accessible to guests with disabilities. The dress code is chic and casual at the Lobby and LiLi, and chic and elegant at L’Oiseau Blanc. Reservations must be made separately for each venue, so you’ll need to choose your restaurant when you book.
