Le Pavillon Montsouris

Rated by locals as one of the prettiest terraces in Paris, this restaurant, which is an Art Deco style pavilion, features a gorgeous terrace that butts up against the length of the beautiful Parc Montsouris in the 14th arrondissement. You will mostly find locals and business people dining here for lunch, especially on days when the weather is favorable (meaning, do reserve in advance!). Sebastien Dagoneau, the chef trained under some of the city's greats including Alain Senderens, formerly of Lucas Carton, and offers refined choices such as foie gras served with a chutney of tropical fruits and sides such as baked macaroni with foie gras. Their wine list offers good choices that go along well with the "noble ingredients" of his menu.
