Which bucolic terrace in Paris to take refuge on in spring?
Confidential brunch, worldly patio or museum garden: the Parisian terrace transforms a break into a beautiful escape. Paris has never concealed so many of its most beautiful corners of greenery. In the shadow of museums, tucked away in a hotel or behind an elegant facade, certain terraces offer a timeless interlude away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Chez Julien, intimacy, charm and history
A veritable Parisian institution with timeless charm, Chez Julien boasts an idyllic, flower-filled setting. The restaurant’s terrace is the ideal place for lunch, brunch or just sipping a cocktail… Especially as it offers 3 completely different atmospheres. While the first terrace overlooks the small pedestrian square on rue des Barres, the second is bathed in sunshine. The ideal option for those who want to fill up on vitamin D! The latest addition is very intimate, promising its 120 guests a quiet, incognito lunch, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris…
Delano Café: the hidden terrace
The Delano Café, located in the hotel’s inner courtyard, offers a unique experience. With its 200 m² of greenery, this space is designed to enhance moments spent at the Maison Delano. In this intimate boutique hotel, cuisine takes on a special dimension. The magic happens thanks to Paolo Minelli, an Italian chef whose career is as brilliant as his benevolence.
The Jardin du Petit Palais: a soothing cultural setting
In the heart of the Petit Palais, between colonnades and mosaics, nestles a confidential terrace of plant-like charm. Open to all, even without an admission ticket, it offers breakfast, lunch or tea-time in a setting reminiscent of a museum Garden of Eden. Perfect for an arty, zen-like break after a visit.
Maison Revka: fringed sunshades
A new identity for the former “Maison Russe”, now Maison Revka. Its lush, private 1,000 m² patio hosts an elegant brunch every weekend. A meticulous decor, with bohemian touches and Slavic inspirations, makes this an ultra-coveted address of the moment.
La Baronne, a social terrace
Here, summer starts before everyone else. Under unbleached parasols, Baronne reinvents itself under the open sky, with banquettes as long as a summer’s afternoon and a light that softens the end of the day. In the evening, lanterns and rustling trees create an almost unreal setting, somewhere between bucolic elegance and city air.
Mimosa: the French Riviera at Place de la Concorde
Designed by chef Jean-François Piège, the terrace of the Mimosa restaurant, set in the courtyard of the Hôtel de la Marine, plays the card of solar elegance. Here, everything exudes summer: fresh dishes, refined furnishings and soft lighting. A hidden terrace in the heart of Paris… with a view of the sunniest days.
Hôtel Particulier Montmartre: cultivating your garden
Hidden from view, behind a discreet Montmartre gate, the terrace of Hôtel Particulier Montmartre offers a bucolic, hushed setting. Surrounded by lush greenery, this confidential address is ideal for enjoying a cocktail or brunch in a chic, intimate atmosphere. A rare, timeless place that blends Parisian elegance with a secret garden spirit.
