Christmas 2026 at the Lutetia: a festive menu at the Brasserie and the Saint-Germain Salon

For Christmas Eve 2026, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris is offering a festive, à la carte menu at the Brasserie Lutetia and the Salon Saint-Germain. It will be served at the dinner on December 24, followed by the lunch on December 25, 2026. Prices are listed as €26 for the starter, from €52 for mains, and €18 for dessert.

In the heart of the Left Bank, the palace at 45, Boulevard Raspail offers two distinct vibes: the Art Deco styling of the Brasserie, at the corner of Rue de Sèvres, or the refined ambiance of the Salon Saint-Germain beneath its colorful glass roof. This Christmas centers on the festive table and holiday classics, in a hotel that first opened its doors in 1910.

The chef Patrick Charvet unveils a menu that pairs seasonal produce with classic French recipes. The meal opens with a half-cooked duck foie gras spiced for Christmas, followed by a puff pastry-wrapped Saint-Jacques and langoustines, accompanied by leek fondue and a lobster sauce. The royal veal galantine offers another note, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, chestnuts and hazelnuts.

To finish, the signature Christmas log by pastry chef Nicolas Guercio brings together pear, pecan, and vanilla in a crown adorned with white chocolate. The appeal of this option lies in its à-la-carte format: each guest builds their own meal from the Christmas selection, with the option to choose either Christmas Eve dinner or the following day's lunch.
