Le Tout-Paris
the panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the Seine, from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower
Upscale Paris rooftop with skyline views and polished service. French classics with a modern touch and a strong wine list. Book well ahead; terrace tables go first.
In Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, Paris. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Le Tout-Paris is the one-Michelin-star rooftop brasserie on the seventh floor of Cheval Blanc Paris (8 Quai du Louvre), overlooking the Seine near the Pont Neuf. Its decor is by Peter Marino and the kitchen runs under Arnaud Donckele with chef William Bequin, serving modern French brasserie fare such as grilled blue lobster, an Iberian pork chop with hash brown, and French toast with vanilla ice cream. The terrace is the marquee feature, with panoramas stretching from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower, and reviewers single out the refined cuisine, attentive service, and unbeatable views while noting prime terrace seating can feel exclusive. This corroborates the curator's notes on skyline views, polished service, modern French classics, a strong wine/cocktail program, and booking ahead for the terrace.
