The Parisian Beach at the Chalet du Lac
Like last year, the Parisian beach comes back to Lake Cottage until the end of September with its 220 tons of white sand, spread over the 1 m000 of the site. The promise of frenzied sunbathing at the Bois de Vincennes… Rather Team deckchair or sunbed? It will be up to you. Also on the program: petanque tournament, beach volleyball and lots of other snacks to nibble on such as a delicious salmon tataki, a salad to play it healthy or even a burger for the greediest.
We also like: the brunch in XXL buffet mode served on Sundays (from 11:30 a.m. to 16 p.m.), not to mention the possibility of booking a massage like in Bali!

The Chalet of the Islands in the Bois de Boulogne
A place of sharing for gourmets, the Islands Chalet nestles in the heart of an island in Bois de Boulogne. To access this green setting, a small boat welcomes you for an express crossing. We then discover a restaurant really GENUINE which has lost none of its old world charm. With huge spaces, several atmospheres are available to us: the terrace, the garden, the balcony, as well as the interior room... In good weather, we obviously recommend that you sit down on the terrace by the lake.
Here, the chef's cuisine is simple and tasty, favoring seasonal products and the authenticity of tastes in the pure French tradition. On the menu, there are refreshing salads, a salmon-avocado Poke Bowl, grilled prawns, Thai mayonnaise and rice, but also classic dishes such as beef tartare, entrecôte-frites with Béarnaise sauce, veal liver… All to be enjoyed in a enchanting green setting, really peaceful. A dream spot for dining, afternoon tea, brunch on Sundays or having a drink in the evening, the Chalet des Îles provides peace and quiet both on the terrace, in the shade of the parasols and on the balcony. Far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, it offers a real timeless parenthesis...

Mackerels
To meet around a drink and taste shellfish as an aperitif, Mackerels represents the perfect place as soon as the good weather arrives. Moored opposite Île-Saint-Louis, the spot offers on its terrace a real illusion of escaping by the sea for an evening, with waiters dressed in sailor-style sailor tops.
We like: events organized throughout the summer with music groups and DJs for lively evenings, not to mention the delicious homemade cocktails which will delight epicureans!

The Aqua in Suresnes
With her little ones fairy lights and its breathtaking view of the Seine, the Aqua has everything tavern perfect. We come here to savor a bit of Italian Dolce Vita without taking the plane. Because it is the transalpine cuisine that is given pride of place. A Sicilian-style octopus salad, tortellini with artichokes or even a Milanese cutlet… We enjoy the dishes on offer, but it's a new house that seduced us: the mozzarella bar ! In the window, we discover smoked mozzarella, di Buffala, braided or even burrata to die for. The hardest ? Choose the one that will accompany our lunch…
