Restaurant inside the Grand Palais
Le Mini Palais
Why locals love it
This restaurant is in an idyllic location inside the Grand Palais. Eric Frechon (of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Bristol) oversees the refined seasonal menu, which is executed by Stéphane d’Aboville. To top it off, the wine list is plentiful. Peruse the menu while savouring a gougère – a French appetiser of choux pastry filled with cheese.

Why you should visit it
The service is both welcoming and sophisticated, the staff are attentive, the décor is minimal, and most importantly, the food is excellent and original. Simultaneously unusual but still accessible, this place is worth experiencing. It’s also a cocktail bar at night. Sometimes there’s a black cat on the sofa at the entrance!
Special tip
In summer, there’s a magnificent terrace – it’s a nice place to have a drink after visiting an exhibition.
