Description: Le First (as its name suggests) is the first of its kind in the French capital. In a neo-contemporary décor which mixes purple velvet and silk textures Le First serves up reinterpreted brasserie food. Every detail of the restaurant has been thought out by the interior designed Jacques Garcia, carpet printed with leaves , silver decorations, the interior is reminder of the old splendour of the Jardin des Tuileries. Mirrors and curtains give the restaurant a boudoir atmosphere.

Pleasantly surprised with the hotel restaurant. Luxurious purple velvet décor (not a good vibe for morning) made our dining experience fun. Nice view of the Tuileries Garden. Great service.

We thought we would treat ourselves on our honeymoon. . From the moment we arrived we were treated as if we were tramps who wandered in off the street. Don't get me wrong, i was not the best dressed man in paris, just dont like wearing a suit to eat my dinner. We are not poor, and we have eaten... More

Had dinner there with friends. The service was good, and the food was really well presented and tasty. Prices were fair, given that this is Paris, and became even fairer with a 20% discount for SPG members on all food items! If you are staying at the Westin, I suggest you give it a try.

We went to Le First thanks to a web promotion. The location is one of the best in Paris, just next door to Place Vendome. The welcome was very bad, since there was no one at their entrance in Rue de Rivoli. But the waiter was very nice...food was delicious and thanks to the promotion reasonably priced. Otherwise, a bit... More

We went there for dinner with friends , without any booking, at 10:00 PM, not always an easy task in Paris. The service was efficient, discrete and quick . The food was good, modern without being too sophisticated . Design, seating, comfort are good too. The four of us were pleasantly surprised .

Food was very good, including some excellent caviar. Service was very good, all of the wait staff were attentive and knew english. Location is superb. The buffet breakfast on regular days was fine. Worth eating if in your hotel package, but too expensive otherwise. The bacon is the highlight.

The setting of this restaurant was very nice but the food was just ok and prices quite high. Overall somewhat disappointing. As there is such a choice in Paris we would not give this a second visit.

Le First is located in the Westin Vendome across from the Tuileries Gardens. The restaurant is not your typical hotel establishment particularly in the summer months when dinner is served in the very attractive and romantic inner courtyard (don't go if it looks like it's going to rain!). We were greeted warmly by the hostess and our waiter was most... More

A friend invited me for lunch at Le First to celebrate the publication of my collected poetry. We ordered the "Menu du Jour," which was presented orally. [It should have been written on a slateboard or on a separate piece of paper]. We toasted my book with a kir, accompanied by various munchies. Poached salmon was the starter; perfectly prepared,...

We were tired walking 6 miles a day enjoy the sights and after passing by some restaurants nearby we decided to eat at the hotel. We were asked to come back half hour later even though 6 tables were available. The waiter just shook his head saying there are no tables. We walked around a bit and came back half... More
