5 Restaurants in Paris With Gorgeous Views

1) Le Georges

It’s no surprise that Le Georges has hosted events like product launches, fashion shows, and award ceremonies, to name a few. With aerial views of Paris, this restaurant provides guests with the opportunity to see the City of Lights in all its glory.

Diners can sit indoors in the restaurant area, with floor-to-high-ceiling windows, or on the large rooftop terrace, with obstruction-free views of the city. 

Located on top of the Centre Georges-Pompidou, Le Georges is the ideal dinner choice after an afternoon spent exploring the Musee National d’Art Moderne. The spacious fine-dining restaurant adopts a minimalist design; a stark contrast from the Art Deco halls lying below.

In the summer, the rooftop restaurant’s terrace is wildly popular, so don’t forget to book before arriving at the hotspot! 

2) Le Jardin du Petit Palais

Discover this elegant restaurant and cafe near the Champs Elysees, in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris. 

Le Petit Palais has expertly designed a charmingly majestic venue, with an original menu to match. When you glance out the window, expect to be immediately captivated by stunning views of the Sacré-Coeur.

Intricate ceiling murals and patterned marble floors deck this 19th Century venue. Housed in the heart of a museum, the Café opens up to a vibrant private garden, where you can find exotic plants, fairytale-like colonnades, and mosaiced water features.

Once you’ve enjoyed your food and managed to tear away your eyes from the incredible aerial views of Paris, venture to the City of Paris’ Museum of Fine Art found in the same building, Le Musée des Beaux-Arts.

3) Khayma Rooftop, Stay Generator

This rooftop restaurant and bar is on top of Generator Paris, a hostel popular with young crowds. Whether hostel guests or not, all are welcome to the Khayma Rooftop.  

Khayma, means ‘tent’ in Arabic, referencing the canvas above the venue. Continuing to reference the Middle East, the event venue has dark wooden flooring, brought to life by the comfortable lounge chairs in warm reds, oranges and yellows. Lush greenery encapsulates the rooftop, and a canvas roof protects guests from rain and winds.

The Middle East fittingly influences the menu too. The vast and impressive selection of beers, wines, spirits, and have fuelled many great nights out – you won’t be disappointed with the drinks selection!

Mere steps away from Buttes-Chaumont Park, it’s a superb location if you’re looking for a party; DJ sets and small concerts are often on the agenda.

Don’t miss the chance to see the city from this incredible viewpoint with a cocktail in hand.
