LACOSTE FIRST CAFÉ IN PARIS
Lacoste is opening its first Café Lacoste in the heart of Paris on the prestigious Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt.
February 16, 2026
Located just steps away from the brand’s Paris flagship store, the Lacoste Café is conceived as a natural extension of the Crocodile’s iconic universe, a place designed as a true living space, fully aligned with the Lacoste spirit.
An all-day offer designed to match new urban rhythms, combining dine-in, takeaway and soon delivery. Spanning 100 square meters and offering 65 seats, the space revisits the Crocodile’s iconic codes: deep green, off-white tones, touches of terracotta, noble materials and tennis-inspired lines come together to create an atmosphere that is both warm and elegant.
Under the direction of Thierry Paludetto, chef of the Giraudi Group, the menu revisits classic favorites with accuracy and flair: club sandwiches, fresh salads, seasonal dishes and signature desserts. Among them, the Iconic Polo stands out, designed as true iconic objects to share, photograph or take away.
The drinks menu highlights specialty coffees, artisan-roasted, creative lattes (pistachio, vanilla, chai), as well as a signature beverage, L’Eau de Croco (coconut water, matcha and ginger). Café Lacoste also extends into a concept store, featuring a curated selection of exclusive products for those wishing to prolong the experience beyond the venue: a refined offering combining fine food items, French porcelain tableware stamped with the Lacoste name, and a dedicated textile collection.
Since the very first polo was created in 1933, Lacoste relies on its authentic sports heritage to spring optimism, confidence and elegance on the world. At the crossroads of fashion and sport, Lacoste frees us up and creates movement in our lives, cultivating a French lifestyle infused with effortless elegance.
