To enjoy a gourmet, Greek and Mediterranean break without even leaving Paris, head to the Champs-Elysées and especially the Galeries Lafayette. There, chef Andréas Mavrommatis recently opened Laurier, a restaurant and teahouse shining a light on Greek cuisine – like his previous venues.

On the plates, Laurier revisits – while complying with them – great classics of this ancestral culinary tradition. The menu is regularly renewed and shines a light on beautiful seasonal produces. Moreover, as a token of quality, all products used come from Greece – excluding fresh produces such as meats, fishes, fruits and vegetables.

To provide foodies with mouthwatering dishes, Laurier has got a vertical grill – designed by the chef himself and especially created for his art. Thanks to this ancestral technique, ingredients do not cook over the flames, but besides, and perfectly!
