Le Tout-Paris

There are views of Paris. And then there is the one from Tout-Paris, following the Seine from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower.

On the seventh floor of the Cheval Blanc Paris palace hotel on Quai du Louvre, this Michelin-starred haute couture brasserie lives up to its name: Peter Marino's interiors draw on Art Deco bistros, the atmosphere is elegantly lively, and the river below seems laid out for the evening.

Donckele and Béquin at the helm

The menu celebrates French classics: spatchcock pigeon, roast sole meunière, pain perdu with vanilla ice cream, orchestrated by executive chef William Béquin under the eye of Arnaud Donckele, the hotel's three-starred chef. A brasserie, certainly, but a Michelin-starred one.

From brunch to a final drink

The restaurant stays lively from morning to evening: family lunches every Sunday, dinners facing the sunset and an adjoining bar where you can continue without a reservation. In fine weather, the rooftop terrace is one of the most sought-after spots in Paris.

Who is it for?

• A dinner with a view over the Seine and rooftops
• A special occasion deserving a palace hotel without the stiffness
• The capital's most spectacular Sunday brunch

Why Le Tout-Paris leaves an impression

Because the view is unique, the energy infectious, and the food carries the signature of one of France's greatest chefs.
