Business meals in an atypical setting

Museum restaurants for a touch of culture

Not only famous for the treasures they contain, the capital's museums are also appreciated for their sometimes-little-known restaurants.

At the Musée du Quai Branly, Les Ombres restaurant and Café Jacques offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. Located on the museum's rooftop terrace, Les Ombres is an elegant restaurant where you can treat your taste buds to the contemporary cuisine of chef Alexandre Sempere. The discreet Café Jacques, tucked away in the museum gardens, offers seasonal French cuisine with world influences (accessible without a museum ticket). During your visit to the Musée d'Orsay, rediscover the classics of French cuisine at Café Campana or at the Restaurant d’Orsay (accessible with a museum admission ticket). The former evokes a ‘dreamlike aquatic’ world signed by the famous Brazilian designers, the Campana brothers. The second features a sumptuous decor of gilding and frescoes by Gabriel Ferrier and Benjamin Constant. Two places that will be the talk of your table.
Head to the Louvre Museum to further impress your colleagues at Bistrot Benoît, beneath the Louvre Pyramid. Close to the apartments of Napoleon III, with a breathtaking view of the Palais and the Pyramid, Café Richelieu has a choice selection from the renowned maison Angelina.

In Place des Vosges, within the Maison de Victor Hugo, the Café Mulot is both an unusual and romantic spot for your business meals and offers creative cuisine according to the season.
