This place offers an amazing brunch complete with a set menu and a substantial buffet style offering that has tons of desserts, a seafood area, from age and of course a crepe bar. Pretty much everything about this place is legit and my go to for brunch when I'm in the area. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for what you get. Be sure to come hungry....

It's got the Michelin star rating .. so you know, 1 week reservation wait times (recommend calling ahead) make you feel .. exclusive upon entry.
I'll share slightly more attuned rating metrics to accentuate.

Gorgeous interior, staff and good food.

A friend who lives in Paris, recommended me to try La Bauhinia for a weekend brunch as he raved about it. However, I could not get a reservation so I selected a weekday lunch. Located at the decadent and royal Shangri-La Hotel in the back is La Bauhinia. The menu is relatively simple, yet elegant, with class and they highlight the lobster. For our entrees, we selected the highly recommended sea scallops, along with the cooked to order steak, which came with tasty mashed potatoes. My highlight and my favorite dish, where I will fly to Paris just to order it again, would be the Le Vacherin Kiwi Et Pomme Verte (Green apple and kiwi vacherin). It is the most exquisite dessert I have ever had, from the crunchy apple to the chunks with the kiwi texture, it was stunningly presented.

Located in Shangri la hotel in Paris. I was happy that my partner was able to get a reservation here. The food here is definitely five star and service was pretty exceptional. Be ready to show your France health pass or covid vaccination card in order to enter the premises . Got seated upstairs and the view we perfect as we were in the center of the restaurant , overlooking the beautiful view of the whole restaurant including the centerpiece chandelier. For appetizer we got the foie gras served with bread. The foie gras are usually made with duck or goose meat. It definitely tasted unique. For the Main entree I got the scallops.  I  wished they seasoned it a little more as the flavor was lacking a bit. My partner got the sea bass which he said was all right but lacking a bit of salt and pepper.

Without a doubt, this restaurant is a 5* restaurant. I had food only from the Asian menu, but I would imagine the French food here should be equally good.

The food is exceptional. We were here on dinner with clients. The Tum Kha Kai soup was very flavorful and aromatic. They must have used the freshest coconut. You could smell it in food. The chicken satay was equally good, but I will go with some other entree the next time.

Service: the service is good as well

Fantastic dining experience.  The dining room is magnificent!  Such a comanding, yet soothing atmosphere.  I can imagine power lunch meetings as well as romantic proposals.  They even have two larger tables perched on the second floor overlooking the main dining rooms.  The large skylight is rumored to be deisigned by Gustof Eiffel.

The menu is a mix of French and Asian - not fusion.  The different ingredients compliment one another well.  There are so many delicate flavors as you savor each bite.  I will definitely continue to go back to this restaurant.  I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here on several occasions.

Has a private dining room, so good for groups.

My review is for the vegan tea time. Five stars for the experience (the place is impressive) and 4 stars for the food, but since what matters after all is food, 4 stars over all. Let's start from the context: entering into the room really feels like stepping in an out of this world place, everyone is there to please you, a pianist is playing standards in the background (or foreground, depending on where you seat), attentive service. 

For vegans, this is truly exceptional. I doubt there are better vegan pastries worldwide or a more luxurious vegan experience. For non-vegans, some Parisian pastry shops can offer better, but even among non vegan pastries these are contenders. We had: savory sandwiches, scones (plain and with dried fruits) with jam (delicious) and vegan whipped cream, three pastries, petits fours and a tea. 

We had a white tea (silver tips) and an oolong that were perfectly infused when they arrived at our table (and at the right temperature! It's so easy to 'kill' tea). 

The highlights were of courses the pastries: one was exceptional, layers of nut cream with a fruit filling and something like a graham cracker underneath (but a five star hotel version of a graham cracker), the other two were very good but more standard (a fruit entremet with an interesting almond filling and a chocolate tart). The scones were very tasty and crumbly (in a good way). 

The low point was the savoury part: its role was rather perfunctory (3 tiny pieces) and the taste not special. 

We didn't have any place left to eat the petits fours, but luckily one can bring leftovers home in a box offered by the waiter. I had some of them the day after so I can't say how they were fresh, since they had time to get a bit soggy. Therefore I suspend judgement.

I truly enjoyed my tea time there, but the food had some low points. I would rather have one pastry less (no chocolate tart that was too heavy and filling) and a more elaborate savory part.

Simply the most remarkable desserts I have had in my entire life. Thank you Paris for doing vegan so very well. I would get back on the plane and fly to Paris just to eat at this restaurant.
