The Plaza Athénée’s New Year’s Eve 2026 dinner at La Grande Table costs €1,050, or €1,450 with wine. The price, printed in the hotel’s festive booklet, includes soft drinks, and the menu runs from langoustine and a Marie-Antoinette brioche with caviar to a poularde with white truffle.

La Grande Table, the Relais Plaza and a dinner-dance at the Plaza Athénée
The Plaza Athénée, on Avenue Montaigne, has four offers for the night. La Grande Table du Plaza Athénée serves its dinner “à la lueur des chandelles”, by candlelight, from 19.30 to 21.45, and the dress code is evening attire. The menu lists “La Brioche Marie-Antoinette au caviar”, “Le Pot-Au-Feu de homard et truffe noire” and “La Poularde à la Truffe Blanche”, followed by a truffled Brillat-Savarin and “Le Grand Dessert du réveillon”. A vegetarian menu at the same price starts with butternut, chestnut and white truffle. The wine pairing adds €400.
Le Relais Plaza charges €490 per person, or €670 with a wine pairing, and €245 for children under 12. Dinner runs from 20.00 to 22.30, with live music. The menu opens with foie gras with Sauternes and a small brioche, moves on to a turbot “au champagne” with Caviar Golden Impérial and a roast Bresse chicken with black truffle, and ends with chestnut and clementine “comme un Mont-Blanc”. For dancing, the Salon Haute Couture et Organza holds a “soirée dansante”, a dinner-dance at €580 per person with soft drinks included, or €290 for children, with a live band and then a DJ from 20.00. Le Bar takes over at 23.00. It stays open until 04.00, with Dom Pérignon and a DJ set “From €1,200 per table”. “Join us for the ultimate countdown to 2027”, the booklet says.
Six courses at the Brasserie Lutetia, jazz in the Salon Saint-Germain
On the Left Bank, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris, sets out its offer in an English-language festive brochure. The Brasserie Lutetia’s dinner is “€280 per person, excluding beverages”, for six courses. It begins with “Herbal Freshness with Yuzu”, goes on to crab and to “Turbot with Camus Artichokes and Black Truffle”, then “Chalosse Chicken, Winter Vegetables, Verbena Sauce”, and ends with a “Signature Yule Log by Pastry Chef Nicolas Guercio”. The vegan menu costs the same. It includes an “Artichoke Salad with Black Truffle”.
The Salon Saint-Germain is à la carte for the night, with starters at €34 and main courses from €51, and a live jazz band plays from 19.00 to midnight. Bar Joséphine has a DJ set until 01.00. The hotel holds Two MICHELIN Keys, as in our list of the 41 Paris Key hotels, where the Plaza Athénée and Le Meurice hold Three.
Nonos, a masked ball and Les Ambassadeurs at the Crillon
The Hôtel de Crillon, on the Place de la Concorde, lists three events for “Jeudi 31 décembre”. At Nonos par Paul Pairet, “Pour la dernière soirée de l’année, Nonos par Paul Pairet donne rendez-vous aux épicuriens”: for the last evening of the year, the restaurant invites its guests to a dinner designed for the occasion. A masked ball, “un bal masqué pour célébrer la Nouvelle Année”, starts with a cocktail reception and live music until 23.00. A DJ then takes it to 2 in the morning. At the Bar Les Ambassadeurs, “champagne, canapés salés et sucrés accompagnent une programmation live” with a DJ, a singer and a saxophonist, until 4.
The hotel’s page gives no prices. La Revue des Hotels puts the Nonos dinner at €365 per person, and the evening at Les Ambassadeurs at €350 per person, for two people or more, with a bottle of Champagne for two. The Crillon has also reopened L’Herbier Secret, a single table with a five-course menu, as in our report on the reopening.
Le Dalí and Le Meurice Alain Ducasse on the Rue de Rivoli
Le Meurice faces the Tuileries from the Rue de Rivoli. Its prices for the night come from two French sites. La Revue des Hotels gives €560 per person before drinks for the menu at Le Dalí, or €830 with a wine pairing, and Sortir à Paris gives the same figures, with dinner from 20.00. For Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, the hotel’s gastronomic restaurant, run by chef Amaury Bouhours, La Revue des Hotels gives €1,095 before drinks and €1,650 with wines. The next day, it adds, Le Dalí serves a brunch at €215 from 12.30.
The Luxury.it perspective
A palace New Year’s Eve in Paris is now a choice of format as much as of menu. The Plaza Athénée alone offers a candlelit tasting menu, a brasserie dinner with live music, a dinner-dance and a bar until 4 in the morning. The Lutetia keeps a six-course dinner under €300. The Crillon builds its night around a masked ball. The figures need reading with care, because they do not all cover the same things: La Grande Table’s €1,050 includes soft drinks, the Lutetia’s €280 excludes them, and the bars are priced per table or per head with Champagne. With wine, the Plaza’s menu reaches €1,450, and Le Meurice’s €1,650, according to La Revue des Hotels. The choice comes down to the shape of the night. At La Grande Table, dinner ends at 21.45. At Les Ambassadeurs, the music runs until 4.
