The brasserie is famous for its red awnings, which spread over two terraces on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue George V.

For decades, Fouquet's Paris has been a place where people from the entertainment industry would meet. It has strong ties with the cinema, and hosts every year the traditional dinner after the César Awards ceremony.

The restaurant has been listed as a historical French monument since 1990 (Inventaire des Monuments Historiques). The historical decor includes mahogany paneling by Jean Royere,^[1] Harcourt portraits of notable actors and actresses, and discreet brass plaques which indicate the favourite tables of famous people. Most frequent guests own their silver napkin rings with their name engraved on it.

Although the name of the restaurant's founder, [Louis] Fouquet, is pronounced in the standard French way, rhyming with "bouquet", the restaurant name is pronounced with a hard "t" and "s", rhyming with the English word "nets".^{[citation needed]}

Fouquet's brasserie was founded in 1899 by Louis Fouquet. He called it after his French last name, "Fouquet", and added the "'s" to give it a trendy style, although he was born and raised in France.

Since 1990, the main room is listed as a historical French monument (Inventaire des Monuments Historiques).

In 1998, Fouquet's was purchased by Groupe Barrière. Then, the family owned French group created Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris by acquiring 6 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).^[2]

In March 2019, the restaurant was severely damaged during the yellow vest protests,^[3]reopening a few months later for Bastille day, July 14, 2019.^[4]

Once per year Fouquet's hosts the traditional gala dinner for the César Awards, French equivalent of the Oscar.^{[citation needed]}
