How do you get a table at Epicure on New Year's Eve 2026?
Book it now on Epicure's SevenRooms page: the New Year's Eve dinner is 1,300 euros a person before drinks, and on November 8, 2026 tables for two were open from 7:30pm to 9:15pm. Epicure is the three Michelin star dining room at Le Bristol, on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and that night it serves only the New Year's Eve menu.
The menu, dated Thursday, December 31, 2026, is eight courses by chef Arnaud Faye, with caviar in three of them and truffle in two, ending on panettone. Of the Paris palace dinners that have posted New Year's Eve prices, it is the one I'd book: a three-star kitchen at well under the Ritz's price, in a room where the rest of the night is yours.

The booking page gives the cancellation day as Wednesday, December 17; in 2026 that date is a Thursday. Treat December 17 as the deadline and confirm it in writing when you book.
Which seating should you book?
The 8:30pm or later, if you want midnight at the table. Eight courses take most of an evening, and a 7:30pm table may finish before the year does. Book 7:30pm only if you plan to be somewhere else at midnight.
What if Epicure is full?
Book Le Meurice or the Plaza Athénée before trying for a cancellation. Le Meurice Alain Ducasse is 1,095 euros, and La Grande Table du Plaza Athénée 1,050 euros with soft drinks. L'Espadon at the Ritz is 2,027 euros with the wine included. Plénitude, Guy Savoy and L'Arpège had posted nothing for the night on November 8.
For the rest of the year, the hardest tables in Paris list says when each one opens, and the Le Bristol room guide names the room to book upstairs.
