There are restaurants with beautiful dining rooms. And then there is La Grande Cascade, whose Belle Époque rotunda is a monument in its own right.
In the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, this Napoleon III pavilion, converted into a restaurant for the 1900 World's Fair, combines Empire, Belle Époque and Art Nouveau styles beneath a light-filled glass roof. Michelin-starred since 1965, Georges Menut's restaurant cultivates its grand-dame reputation.
The cooking of Frédéric Robert
At the stove since 2006, Frédéric Robert has one of the most impressive résumés around: L'Ambroisie, Le Vivarois, then Lucas Carton alongside Alain Senderens. His classical, precise and unshowy cooking suits the setting perfectly, while desserts by young pastry chef Joris Vée provide a beautiful finish.
The countryside in Paris
A terrace among the trees, the calm of the woods, a valet waiting for you: you are ten minutes from the Étoile, yet somewhere else entirely. After dark, the illuminated rotunda looks ready for a ball.
Who is it for?
- A timeless romantic dinner, away from the bustle
- Lovers of authentic Belle Époque interiors
- An exceptional lunch surrounded by greenery, on the edge of Paris
Why La Grande Cascade leaves an impression
Because the pavilion, the woods and the Michelin star create a kind of romance the capital no longer knows how to build.
La Grande Cascade, a grand evening among the trees.
