Les grandes portes

These gorgeous glass doors welcome you to L'opera Restaurant. Designed by architect Odile Decq, it's tucked alongside the Opéra Garnier.

L'opéra Restaurant

L'opéra

Architect Odile Decq has done a masterful job of nestling this contemporary restaurant inside the opulent  Opéra Garnier, without missing a beat.  No, I've not dined there, but pressed my nose and lens against the gate and gazed longingly.  I've included the menu as best I could shoot it. I think for a nice splurge in Paris, this might be my place of choice.
