The Restaurant at The Westin Paris - Vendome

"The Jacques Garcia-decorated restaurant is excellent"

"There's an excellent restaurant, Le First, with a sleek, deep purple and pearly grey, boudoir-like interior designed by Jacques Garcia"

"Restaurants include Le First, La Terrasse (a glorious gilded cage of steel and insulated glass) and Bar Tuileries"

"But of course, there are some standouts: Lunch at the hotel's Le First restaurant is a must-do (it's worth it to sit out on the terrace, in the hotel's inner courtyard, where you can admire the mosaic-tiled fountain and surrounding columns and archways)"

"The formal bar and restaurant -- adorned with a boxwood-planted terrace and oval fountain -- sport jewel tones and mirrored surfaces"

"The restaurant, le First, is a high-style study designed by Paris' darling, Jacques Garcia, whose portfolio includes the nearby Hotel Costes as well as The Victor on Miami's South Beach"
