Lunch inside the Louvre<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Instead of having lunch near the Louvre, how about having lunch on the 1st floor of this magnificent palace? Le Caf\u00e9 Richelieu (in the Richelieu rooms) borrows its menu from the famed Parisian food institute Angelina. And, with a terrace overlooking I.M. Pei\u2019s Pyramid, the view from this fancy restaurant is as good as the food itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather overlook the Carrousel Gardens while munching on a muffin, then Caf\u00e9 Mollien is the one for you.
