Les Deux Magots
It is obviously impossible to talk about Parisian terraces without mentioning that of Deux Magots, quite simply legendary. After several months of closure, our favorite germanopratine terrace reopens its doors, to the delight of Parisians! To us the branded pastries Pierre Hermé, the delicious croque-monsieur to eat on the go, healthy salads and other house dishes, which we have missed so much... In addition to enjoying a spectacular view on the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the terrace-garden has an umpteenth added value: its XXL size which makes it possible to respect the standards of distancing without difficulty.

Coco
Since its opening, Coco Paris has been the sexiest terrace in the Opéra district! And if we love the decoration way Gatsby (signed Thierry Boutemy) of the interior room, we still prefer its large terrace to enjoy the good weather.

On the menu: heart of smoked salmon, sea bream tempura, green asparagus with mimosa sauce… Yummy.
