Dinner │ © Jay Wennington
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?
Le Pré Catelan
Restaurant, Italian, French, $$$
This fine dining restaurant in the heart of the park is also a favorite wedding venue of Paris’ chicest brides and grooms. It’s easy to understand why. The surroundings, interior and exterior, at Le Pré Catelan are divine and the food is out of this world. The three Michelin stars are well-deserved. Open Tuesday to Saturday.
