La Terrasse des Vedettes: the Seine at your feet...
Far from the noise of the city and with a unique view of the River Seine the Terrasse des Vedettes is located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. It is the perfect place to eat traditional French food, have a drink with friends and enjoy the exceptional views of the river Seine and Trocadéro. On the menu: Cesar Salad, Tomatoes and Mozzarella Salad with pesto, grilled lamb ribs, panacotta with fresh fruits and a great chocolate cake for dessert… A trendy place for lunch or dinner at the waterfront

La Table du Lancaster in Spring-Summer
Because it has an absolutely delightful terrace and a original menu by the famed chef Michel Troisgros this is one of the Parisian gems, an address to try without hesitation. Here you can experience zesty Fried frogs legs, piquant Red tuna, lightly cooked chanterelles in sorrel butter, grilled veal sweetbreads or sweet Apricot Dim-Sum with a Southern jus. Sunday Brunch on the terrace or the “shopping break” menu on Saturday between 12h30 and 18h00 are a real feast!
Price: Sunday lunch: choice between 3 starters, 3 main courses, cheese and 3 desserts at 65€ per person without drinks
l’Arc: Gastronomy in a French garden
Real homage to the French gardens characterised by geometry, symmetry and elegance, the new terrace L'Arc coexists perfectly with the Haussmannian architecture of the building. The place is nicely decorated, relaxing, enjoying a superb view on the Arc de Triomphe ... to the delight of Paris lovers! The black velvet furniture creates a sophisticated atmosphere while being casual. Concerning gastronomy, Chef Anthony Germani is flirting with "finger food ", allowing you a glimpse of his culinary skills. Enjoy a sunny day on this beautiful terrace just a few meters from L'Arc de Triomphe.
Price: à la carte from 10 to 25€
The return of the Mini-Palais!
Without hesitation, we return to the terrace of the Mini Palais when it opens in May. On the menu, piano music with Pierre-Yves Plat, champagne bar with Veuve Cliquot and gourmet summer delights by Eric Frechon and Stéphane d’Aboville. We love the different tomato variations, the asparagus clafoutis, the Andalusian gaspacho and expresso ice cream chouquettes with chocolate sauce. With its impressive decoration, imperial columns and entirely restored mosaics the Mini-Palais is a real statement of Parisian art de Vivre.
Price: à la carte approximately 45 € - lunch menu 28 €
39 V: A little closer to the sun ...
Business lunch, sunny cocktail hour or romantic dinner? The 39V is located on the 6th floor of a handsome Haussmann building just off the Champs Elysées. The state-of-the-art designer dining-room, bar, bucolic terrace with herb garden and vines, and chef's table are in the round. The atmosphere is chic. Chef Vardon is a huge talent, a great technician, genius behind the V39's light neo-classic dishes. With starters such as a trio of tomatoes and crab and mains such as: blue lobster with macaroni au vieux Conté cheese and sauce coraillée. Desserts include Vardon's sublime signature Cheesecake Caillé made with Normandy fromage frais, served with fresh cream, honey and chestnuts. A great address – to be kept secret!
