For a magical moment, Gault&Millau has selected eight restaurants in Paris where the view is as delicious as the meal. The hardest part will be choosing.

Paris, the City of Light, is revealed from another angle thanks to its restaurants offering exceptional panoramic views. Whether overlooking the majestic Eiffel Tower, the Seine winding through the capital, or the imposing silhouette of Notre-Dame, these establishments promise a unique culinary experience, where gastronomy combines with the beauty of the Parisian landscape. Gault & Millau brings you its selection of ten addresses where every meal becomes an invitation to contemplate the city in its most beautiful light.

With a breathtaking view of Notre-Dame, reborn in front of its windows as the Seine flows peacefully below, this temple to haute cuisine cultivates the art of French refinement. In a setting where classicism fully assumes its majestic return, MOF chef Yannick Franquès composes a score without false note, combining technical mastery and generous flavors. Precise, courteous service orchestrates a millimetric ballet, paying homage to an institution where every detail counts and where gastronomic grandeur fully justifies its standing.
