American designer brand Polo Ralph Lauren has opened its first restaurant in Europe along with its largest European flagship. Housed in a classical 17th century hotel particulière on the boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris’s chic left quarter, Ralph’s restaurant – the brand’s second in the world - fronts onto a leafy cobblestone courtyard for outdoor dining. The interior, which seats 50, including a private lounging room for eight, features timbered ceilings and parquet flooring and stone fireplace. The menu proffers traditional American cuisine with specialties including a Santa Barbara salad, Ralph’s Burger, and brownies and cheesecake comprising the desert listing. Ralph Lauren’s first restaurant, RL, opened in Chicago in 1999.
Meanwhile, the 2,150m² flagship with women’s and men’s collections and a separate 20m² Watch Salon is said to be the brand’s biggest flagship in Europe. Design features include vintage mercury glass mirrors, an antique green marble fireplace and Tiffany vitrines in the Watch Salon.
Ralph Lauren has two other stores in Paris at place de la Madeleine and Avenue Montaigne.
Opened : 26 April 2010
Address : 173 boulevard Saint-Germain
