Part of Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris, the site is known for its red awnings spread over two terraces on the Champs-Élysées and Avenue George V. For decades, Fouquet's Paris has been a place where people from the entertainment industry would meet.

The decor includes mahogany paneling by Jean Royere,[2] Harcourt portraits of notable actors and actresses, and discreet brass plaques which indicate the favourite tables of famous people.

Then, the family owned group created Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris by acquiring six buildings around the brasserie.

Groupe Barrière inaugurated other Fouquet's restaurants in France (Cannes, Toulouse, Courchevel, La Baule, Enghien-les-Bains), Switzerland (Montreux), Morocco (Marrakesh), and the United Arab Emirates (in the Louvre Abu Dhabi).
