"Champagne is not a festive drink, it’s an everyday drink!"
Arnaud Tronche (Director)
About the Ambassade
Nestled within the historic Galerie Vivienne, Legrand Filles et Fils is a true temple of wine. Since 1880, Maison Legrand has upheld a dual tradition: honouring the meticulous craftsmanship of the vineyard and catering to the refined tastes of its clientele. Lucien Legrand, a visionary and devoted wine enthusiast, revolutionized the caviste profession by personally visiting winegrowers, hand-selecting their finest creations, and bringing them back to his boutique. The restaurant is a natural extension of this heritage, where Chef Benjamin Anthoni creates inspired dishes from locally sourced seasonal ingredients – true culinary artistry designed to honour and enhance the greatness of wine.

Who would you like to share your dream dinner with and why?

Bruce Springsteen. While “admiration” might not be the right word, his music has always been a part of my life.

Friends, family, good food and good wine altogether.
