    Elegant restaurant with a modern decor and super high ceiling that give out a good vibe to the place especially in summer where you can find a table on the terrace. Excellent French cuisine.

    Mini Palais bills itself as a modern brasserie, feeding a chic crowd with a menu that manages to be both gourmand and plenty of fun. And the setting in a corner of the Grand Palais doesn’t hurt. Read more

    Very considerate and attentive staff, with a really great view!! Really not many options for vegetarians though. I had the winter vegetable casserole, the tomatoes are gorgeous, recommend it!

    Loved the food and the service. Walked in as I was near the petit palais and they seated me outdoors. Beautiful outdoor area. Affordable menu of the day - €29 for two courses

    My favourite place in Paris for brunch/lunch, Absolutely gorgeous setting with amazing patio, food is superb, good service. The bar also looks quite inviting for a drink in the evening.

    The only downside ? Orchestrated by the great Eric Fréchon (three-star chef of the Bristol) is often full. Our top solution ? A very chic and sweet tea time with a wide array of cakes and sweets. Read more

    Behind the imperial columns and the Alexandre-III ­rotunda, the dining room is striking both for the elegance of its wood, fabric, marble and metal, and the delicate appeal of its splendid terrace.

    The place is interesting though don't bother of the terrace is full or closed. The food and drinks are expensive when compared to the quality. The service is despicable. If anything, go for the deco.

    Nice location in heart of Paris. We had the shrimp risotto and the tartar. The shrimp and tartar very nice but risotto wasn't good. They take so long to serve we had 1 hour before each meal. average

    Disappointing.Whilst they had foie gras in the menu, they refused to prepare a small starter out of it unless we had it as a main course. The bread was SOUR,check the expiry date.The scallops were off

    Pra almoçar praticamente dentro do Grand Palais. Em dias de sol, chegue cedo e pegue uma mesa na varanda. Prove o delicioso gougère, uma espécie de pão de queijo francês servido de couvert. Delicioso.

    Le lieu est magnifique, le service est parfait, la cuisine est délicieuse. A ne surtout pas manquer : l'Œuf mollet frit et son pain perdu et cèpes! Seuls les blasés trouverons des choses à redire.
