Green lunches: restaurants west of Paris that make you forget the city

As soon as the sun starts to shine, there’s an almost instinctive urge to get out of the city, but without going too far, and enjoy a green lunch. In the west of Paris, certain addresses offer this rare breath of fresh air, between hidden gardens and terraces bathed in light.

Cassetta, a secret garden in Neuilly

Just a few minutes from the capital, Cassetta is the nearest nugget for a green lunch. Nestled within theHôtel le 5 Particulier, this confidential restaurant cultivates an almost unexpected charm in this residential neighborhood.

As soon as you enter, the pace changes. A delicate, gentle garden, where the vegetation frames the tables in a natural way. The atmosphere is bucolic, peaceful, like an interlude away from the hustle and bustle. You quickly forget you’re in Neuilly, so much so that the setting is reminiscent of a discreet country house.

Inside, the décor plays a different score. Contemporary design, clean lines and precisely chosen materials. The whole remains warm, never cold. A controlled elegance that’s just as appealing for a lunch for two as for a more informal business meeting.

In terms of cuisine, the deliberately uncluttered menu focuses on the essentials. The products are carefully selected, the dishes clear and to the point. Nothing ostentatious, but true mastery. We come here for this well-thought-out simplicity, which leaves plenty of room for taste.

The service is attentive and fluid, accompanying but never imposing. The experience is smooth, consistent and perfectly executed. An ideal address for a green lunch, without actually leaving Paris.

The Hamptons, the chic western escape

Change of atmosphere with Les Hamptons Restaurant, located in the Renaissance Paris Hippodrome de St. Cloud Hotel. Here, everything opens up. The space, the light, the view… You breathe differently.

The terrace, vast and perfectly exposed, immediately sets the tone. The view is lost in the surrounding greenery, far from the urban rhythm. The seaside inspiration is subtle, with a relaxed elegance that evokes seaside homes.

At the table, contemporary cuisine favors seasonal produce. Plates are generous and well executed, designed to accompany those long lunches. The place works just as well for a business meeting as for a more personal interlude.

Maison Louveciennes, the nature getaway

For those who want to extend their escape, Maison Louveciennes offers a breath of fresh air. It’s a place where you get away from it all, and you feel it immediately.

The green, open setting invites you to slow down. The terrace blends perfectly into the landscape, between nature and elegance. Take your time. Before or after lunch, it’s almost natural to take a stroll in the surrounding area.

The cuisine, refined without being ostentatious, highlights the products with precision. Each plate continues the feeling of balance, between simplicity and high standards.
This is the ideal address to transform a lunch into a real getaway, less than an hour from Paris.
