In advance of your trip to the Arc we put together a list of some of our favourite restaurants in Paris! Not only that, we have added a couple of Frankie's favourites too!
With a free evening on Saturday to make the most of what the city has to offer, our selection includes both options nearby or for the more adventurous, a little further afield be that on the Seine or in central Paris.
We would advise making a booking in advance of your trip to avoid any disappointment.
Jazz Club Etoile
Located at Le Méridien Etoile, where we will be holding our Preview Drinks Evening, you'll be able to make the easy transition to the Jazz Club to continue your evening with superb sound and fantastic food.
A hotspot of jazz, blues and R&B which has enjoyed over 30 years of popularity, the venue regularly plays host to both French and international jazz stars. Saturday night will see 'Guilty Delight' deliver a beautiful slice of catchy and varied blues and soul.
With a selection of more than 80 single malt whiskies and an extensive cocktail menu, Jazz Club Etoile stands out amongst the city’s plentiful jazz venues, and is an excellent alternative to the sequins and sparkle of the cabaret while still making the most of your time in Paris!
Places are limited and need to be booked from 8pm. We recommend booking early to avoid missing out!

Le Relais de Venise
Located just a five minute walk from Le Méridien Etoile and nearby Porte Maillot in Paris, Le Relais de Venise has been welcoming guests for over 60 years to their typical French bistro.
Nothing has changed since the initial opening with the same decor, same formula comprising a walnut salad followed by a good quality grilled beef steak and golden French fries accompanied by their famous sauce, same incredibly gourmet desserts and a good choice of French wines. And, above all, the same warm and friendly welcome.
If you're looking for an easy meal out but want to experience a typical Parisian bistro, this is the place to go!

Quai Ouest
If you're looking for something a bit more special, Quai Ouest is a huge barge resting on the water facing the Bois de Boulogne between the bridges of Suresnes and Saint-Cloud.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this is a hugely popular restaurant which has been there for more than 20 years with panoramic views of the Seine, gourmet menu and guinguette-style décor.
The glass roofed terrace area means you can spend the last of the summer evenings under the multitude of lanterns while enjoying exquisite french food and wine.

Chez Francoise
One of Frankie's favourites! Frankie says - “Amazing local cuisine, a must try for proper French food”
Everything you want in a proper French restaurant, local cuisine, waiters that barely speak English and all set in a truly French style.
The food is beautifully done with traditional French dishes and fantastic wines to accompany. The sea-bass is so delicious and comes highly recommended! Just a heads up this can, like many french restaurants, be hard to find so follow the directions on their website carefully!

La Coupole
One of Frankie's favourites! Frankie says - “One of my go to restaurants for a nice meal with a group of friends and family, very reasonable prices”
This restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is in the prime location to then spend the rest of the day adventuring around all of Paris’ attractions. The menu offers an array of French cuisine which is presented and served beautifully. There is plenty of delicious food to choose from and something to suit everyone’s taste from the best ‘les fruits de mer’ - seafood, meat, soups, salads, and some of the best sweet desserts that you will definitely want to save space for.
Overall, the food is reasonably priced and offers a true Parisian experience with a great atmosphere, impeccable service, and authentic cuisine. Of course, you can also make the most of the extensive wine list with a plethora of only the best French wines.
