Recently re-opened after impressive renovations, this restaurant affords sweeping views onto the Eiffel Tower. It's a misnomer to call it a cafe as it serves proper meals, requires a reservation and men will feel much more comfortable in a suit jacket here.
What's more, it's open until 2 a.m. so you can come here for drinks and dessert, too. The restaurant's renovations were done by Gilles & Boissier, two names that anyone familiar with French design will already know. The emerald green dining chair upholstery compliments the white marble tables and white leather, supremely comfortable, accent chairs. This jewel-like atmosphere is set off by floor to ceiling mirrors framed in blonde wood.
Things not to miss on the menu: Veal filet mignon on a bed of buttery sauteed spinach; tuna tataki, foie gras from Landes and the chantilly profiteroles. For French wine connoisseurs, the wine list is unparalleled in Paris.

- Best Restaurants, Restaurants near Parc des Princes: "To enter the restaurant you must enter through the main entrance of the Musee de L'Homme, also recently re-opened after years of renovation. To call this a cafe downplays the restaurant's elegance and formality. Though the bar just off the dining room does offer a lounge atmosphere and small plates."
- Recommended as Best Restaurants Because: There are two outstanding characteristics about this restaurant in addition to the cuisine: unparalleled views of the Eiffel Tower and an unparalleled wine list.
- Best for Restaurants near Parc des Princes Because: No other restaurant in Paris offers this sweeping view onto the Eiffel Tower. And now the restaurant's interior decor and menu match this elegance.
