This dignified 1-Michelin-starred dining room is the domain of the highly accomplished Chef Frederic Robert. The gastronomic menu of Chef Frederic Robert is contemporary traditional French, skillfully prepared and artfully presented. Many of the city's greatest chefs got their first start in the kitchens here at La Grande Cascade.
This is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Paris and one that dates back to 1907. Its 'Retro-Metro' style was first constructed in 1856 originally as a hunting cottage for Emperor NapoléonIII. It was later turned into a restaurant for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. It has officially remained a restaurant open to the public since 1907. This Deuxieme Empire dining establishment is ideal for special occasions and elegant meals any time of the year. You'll find widely spaced tables, high ceilings, chandeliers, spacious doors and windows. In summertime, it offers one of the prettiest patios for magnificent outside dining.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Paris Local Expert
- French Traditional: "The 'Blue Lobster' in American sauce and the truffle-foie-gras macaroni are both menu highlights, with the latter originatingin these kitchens. For the food+wine pairing aficionados, expect classy cellar picks. Note* Be sure to tell the taxi driver "carrefour du Allee de Longchamp." Many of the small interior roads of Bois de Boulogne are closed to vehicles. So tell the taxi driver to access via Allee du Longchamp. (So you are not left walking a bit of a ways)."
- Restaurants near Parc des Princes: "Be sure to tell the taxi driver "carrefour du Allee de Longchamp." Many of the small interior roads of Bois de Boulogne are closed to vehicles. So tell the taxi driver to access via Allee du Longchamp. (Otherwise you will be left walking quite a ways)."
- Restaurants near Stade Roland Garros: "Be sure to tell the taxi driver "carrefour du Alléé de Longchamp." Many of the small interior roads of Bois de Boulogne are closed to vehicles. So tell the taxi driver to access via Allée du Longchamp. (Otherwise you will be left walking quite a ways)."
- Best for French Traditional Because: Classic French traditional fare in Second Empire surroundings can and do sate your hunger and quench your thirst in sumptuous, elegant style.
- Best for Restaurants near Parc des Princes Because: White-gloved dining in Bois de Boulogne, La Grande Cascade is where Paris's Michelin-starred chefs dine on their day off.
- Best for Restaurants near Stade Roland Garros Because: La Grande Cascade ranks up there among Paris's grandest tables and its Bois de Boulogne is just minutes away from Roland-Garros by taxi.
