There must be at least one marriage proposal at the Jules Verne every day. Perched high in the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant was taken over by Ducasse, and his chef Pascal Féraud offers a menu of classics, befitting of the location (foie gras in many forms, escargots, tournedos de boeuf, Bresse chicken, savarin a l’Armagnac). The only thing missing might be a view of the tower itself. One Michelin star.
This landmark restaurant suffered after the death of legendary proprietor Claude Terrail, but his son André seems to have resuscitated the place, which could have languished into irrelevance on its (faded) laurels.
Opened in summer of 2010, this lunch spot atop the Galeries Lafayette department store offers stunning views to go along with food by a l’Arpège alum and pastries from Pierre Hermé.
It’s true that Rosa Bonheur serves food, both small plates and simple plats du jour. But the reason the place is packed is because it is perched in a privileged spot at the top of the lush Parc des Buttes Chaumonts, with a sprawling terrace and a fine view. The mood goes from picnic to party as the day progresses, but there’s always plenty of bonheur.
