The Peninsula Paris restaurants: L’Oiseau Blanc, LiLi, Le Lobby and what each costs

L’Oiseau Blanc is the rooftop restaurant, with a terrace, and it is named after the biplane in which Charles Nungesser and François Coli left Le Bourget in 1927 to cross the Atlantic. A replica at three-quarters of its size is fixed as if in flight in the courtyard beside the dining room, seemingly heading for the Eiffel Tower, and Bernardaud made the china with the aeroplane in its design. The chef is David Bizet, who grew up in the Perche and received his second Michelin star at Le Taillevent in January 2020; the hotel lists L’Oiseau Blanc with 2 Michelin stars since 2021, renewed in 2026, and the Michelin Guide’s own page showed 2 beside its name when we read it on 12 October 2026. It serves lunch from noon to 2pm and dinner from 7pm to 10pm, every day.

The way in at the lowest price is the Seasonal Flight, €125 a head: mussels with young squash and Perche saffron, a potato dish with hay-infused cream and ossetra caviar, confit pollock with a shrimp Béarnaise, then fig with frosted faisselle. It is a lunch menu, ordered between noon and 1pm, and the hotel does not serve it at weekends or on public holidays. À la carte, starters run from €95 to €135 and main courses from €125 for turbot to €140 for scallop with white truffle; hare à la royale, which the menu calls a world-championship recipe, comes in 2 courses at €135. Cheese and each dessert are €42.

2 long menus sit above that. The Great Journey is €425 for 8 plates by our count, from caviar with smoked shellfish to scallop, turbot, red mullet, cheese and 2 desserts. The Autumn Hunting Notebook, €345, is the game menu of the season: mallard, grey partridge, grouse in ravioli with white truffle, the hare, and a confit blackberry to finish. Both are served to the whole table.

LiLi is the Cantonese restaurant, on the ground floor, cooked by Tak Lau Yuen with David Bizet; its menu is laid out as an opera, with a prelude of dim sum and 2 acts. From the carte: ha kao or siu mai at €18 for 4 pieces, xiaolong bao with Iberico pork at €25, roasted Cantonese duck at €49, blue lobster in XO sauce at €85, and a Peking duck to share at €188, its second service fried with garlic and chilli, sweet and sour, or tossed in the wok with vegetables. A bowl of jasmine rice is €8. A separate Menu Tradition lists traditional specialities, a jellyfish salad at €39 and monkfish poached in a Sichuan broth at €58 among them.

LiLi’s lunch menu is the gentlest bill in the building at €68, and the hotel promises it in 60 minutes. The 2 official descriptions differ: the menu itself gives a starter, a dim sum and a main course with fried rice, and prices desserts apart, from €24; the restaurant’s page speaks of 3 courses chosen «from starters, dim sum, main courses or desserts». It runs every lunchtime the restaurant is open except Saturday. Saturday belongs to the brunch, from noon to 2pm at €138 with soft drinks, €69 for a child under 12, with a duck carved in the room, dim sum brought round, a tea counter and traditional music played live. The tasting menu is €168 for 8 dishes, the pairing €98, and it can be ordered until 10pm.

Le Lobby is the room people walk through and stay in, and it keeps a table going all day. Its Grande Tradition menu, €75 for 3 courses from Monday to Saturday, at lunch and at dinner, changes each month: on the card we read it was Parisian gnocchi with mussels, chicken chasseur with tagliatelle and a Basque cheesecake. The seasonal menu is €95, and a list of «world specialities» is served from noon to 10.30pm, Sunday lunch excepted: Caesar salad from €38, a club sandwich at €55, a cheeseburger at €62, a croque-monsieur with truffle at €64, a prawn biryani at €75. La Terrasse Kléber, which the hotel calls the largest covered terrace in the capital, serves the same menus under its glass roof among olive trees, and is heated in winter.

3 more doors are bars. Bar Kléber is the oak-panelled room where the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973, and the last drink on its menu page headed «Signature Cocktails 36 €» is named for the year: cognac, Bénédictine, yuzu, coconut water, pandan, ginger and mint. Cocktails without alcohol are €28, a glass of Taittinger €32, an espresso €13. The rooftop bar, L’Heure Dorée, opens from 5pm to 1am when the weather allows and takes no reservations; its last service of 2026 is on 18 October, and the hotel sends drinkers to the bar of L’Oiseau Blanc for autumn and winter. The Kléber Lounge is the cigar room, opened on request.

What diners write on Google is mostly about people and the view. 2 reviews of LiLi, written in June and July 2026, each thank by name the person who served them. One visitor in May 2026 remembered the evening at L’Oiseau Blanc for the Eiffel Tower in the window; another that month called a drink at Bar Kléber the best cocktail of their trips to Paris. Of the Sunday brunch, a guest in April 2026 singled out the pasta counter where black truffle is grated to order.

The nearest thing to LiLi is Shang Palace at Shangri-La Paris, a Chinese restaurant whose page lists Thursday to Monday where LiLi’s lists Tuesday to Saturday. For French cooking with a third star, the George V has Le Cinq and Le Bristol has Epicure.
