Elegant brasserie with stunning terrace, jazz, and classic French cuisine
"Where are the beautiful people going for lunch and dinner in Paris these days? To the freshly renovated Grand Palais’s Grand Café, a brasserie designed by star architect Joseph Dirand with lots of marble, velvet, and beveled mirrors, sky-high ceilings, and 300 seats inside and on a leafy terrace with views of the Petit Palais across the street. The place is objectively massive, which makes it easy to pack in the local fashion set and the corporate types in well-fitted suits at lunch. By night, the crowd skews toward local and foreign jet-setters who are thrilled to have an excuse to get dressed up." - Lindsey Tramuta
"Set within the newly reopened Grand Palais, this grand restaurant pairs a spectacular terrace perched on original mosaic floors and soaring columns with an opulent dining room of marble, mirrors, and velvet; live jazz elevates evenings. The menu ranges from salads to seafood platters, and the drinks program benefits from the presence of famed bartender Colin Field behind the bar." - Mary Winston Nicklin
"In the shade of the century-old plane trees on the terrace, or beneath the high exposed timber ceiling of this stunning 18C manor house, chef Mathias Dandine serves cuisine that is both traditional and generous, in keeping with the bistro decor. The short, appetising menu features dishes beautifully made with fresh produce, leaving diners with some difficult decisions! Pâté en croûte with shallot condiment; Iberian loin of pork with fregola sarda risotto; apple tarte fine with vanilla ice cream. A flawless and truly delicious culinary offering and relaxed but professional service." - Michelin Inspector
