There’s nothing quite like walking along the forest paths of the Bois de Boulogne or the immaculate streets of the 16th arrondissement, which borders the park. The only thing that can make this uniquely Parisian experience any sweeter is the prospect of a delicious lunch or dinner at one of the neighborhood’s exceptional brasseries and bistros. We’ve selected eight of the best restaurants to help you answer the most important of any day out: Where shall we eat?

Auberge du Bonheur

Restaurant, French, $$$
Map View
Located deep within the Bois de Boulogne, just by the Caverne de la Cascade, the Auberge du Bonheur offers traditional French cuisine in a historic building once used by Napoleon III. It’s loved for its carefully tended gardens where in the summer months you can take your meals on the gravel patio. In the winter, the rustic lodge is warmed by a roaring fire. Whatever time of the year you visit, it’s a great place to stop and recharge during a woodland walk.

Open every day in the summer from 12:00pm – 3:00pm and 7:30pm – 10:30pm, and in the winter from 12:00pm – 3:00pm.
