Terrasse 42: the hidden terrace you’ll love
Paris finally has its confidential summer terrace. Nestled at 42 avenue Gabriel, Terrasse 42 reinvents the chic, musical aperitif, just a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées.
An urban oasis at the heart of Parisian elegance
Barely unveiled, Terrasse 42 is already establishing itself as the essential summer rendezvous for lovers of sophisticated cocktails and discreet addresses. Designed by Le Gaspard, the iconic bar at La Réserve Paris – Hôtel & Spa, this double terrace opens from mid-afternoon until sunset, in a hushed, electric atmosphere.
This open-air venue features a refined yet unpretentious decor, bathed in light and punctuated by a sunny musical program, culminating in exclusive live performances every Saturday evening. A complete sensory experience, combining mixology expertise, gastronomic elegance and festive spirit.
Creative cocktails and star-studded tapas: the alliance of style and taste
At the bar, Benjamin Nolf, La Réserve’s head bartender, offers a menu of signature cocktails that draw on the elegance of the seasons. Special mention goes to the La Réserve Spritz, a subtle blend of Château La Mascaronne Rosé, St-Germain liqueur, white peach and grapefruit soda. Pure chic refreshment. Alongside it, Summer Negroni revisits the classic with The Botanist gin, apricot-infused Campari and sancha green tea vermouth.
On the plate, chef Jérôme Banctel, a three-star Michelin winner, imagines tapas to share, from lobster rolls to roasted peppers with stracciatella and thin slices of bellota. A short, precise menu, designed to make the end of the day a pleasure.
L’instant rosé, a nod to the art of Provencal living
Another charming feature of Terrasse 42 is the ephemeral rosé bar dedicated to Château La Mascaronne, owned by the Michel Reybier Group. Here, in the shade of parasols, you can savor confidential cuvées in a Parisian dolce vita atmosphere of relaxation and elegance.
