Breakfast at the Tour d’Argent, overlooking the Seine: the ultimate in Parisian chic
There’s something deeply comforting about having breakfast in a Parisian institution. In the middle of winter, when the light from the Seine is softer and the streets of the 5ᵉ arrondissement are awakening to the rhythm of strollers, settling down at the Bar des Maillets d’Argent de la Tour d’Argent is like adopting an elegant and rare ritual. You enter for the calm, stay for the delicacy of the place and the flavor of the food, and leave metamorphosed: ready to face the day, charged with a little magic, enveloped by the history of Paris.
A setting steeped in history and refinement
As soon as you enter, the Bar des Maillets d’Argent makes a statement with its elegance: weathered wood panelling, a bookcase full of books and objects evocative of polo, a nod to Claude Terrail’s famous Maillets d’Argent team. The Tour d’Argent and Bar des Maillets d’Argent has been owned by a family for several generations, not by a financial group. And you can feel it: the welcome is sincere, the service symbiotic, the atmosphere warm and authentic. You can almost imagine that every chair, every book, every corner of the bar tells a page of Parisian history. Sitting facing the Seine, with the murmur of the city in the background, is a rare privilege. While dinner at La Tour d’Argent is often reserved for celebrating a precious event, this infinitely poetic breakfast is a chic interlude that remains affordable, costing 35€/per person.
Morning delights: a tasty palette
At the heart of this morning experience, the in-house barista deploys all her art: Grand Cru coffee, delicately organic teas, and signature creations such as the sesame latte or the famous Mazarine latte, a true signature of the Tour d’Argent. The menu also includes a subtle and refreshing raspberry-lime iced matcha latte , which reveals the inventive side of the place.
As for chocolate: the menu offers a velvety, comforting hot chocolate in perfect proportions, to accompany freshly baked viennoiseries, croissants or brioches with melting chocolate, organic skyr and crunchy granola, and fresh fruit juices.
The gastronomic touch: Egg Benedict & Pancake Mademoiselle
The breakfast offer is not limited to sweet treats. Eggs Bénédicte, delicately placed under a veil of hollandaise sauce, embody French generosity and the Chef’s refinement. And then, an exquisite surprise:
A Parisian interlude to enjoy to the full
Breakfast at the Bar des Maillets d’Argent is a moment suspended in a place full of soul. Here, you can savor the sweetness of a quiet morning, the warmth of a well-balanced coffee, the elegance of an artisanal viennoiserie. And when you leave the bar, you leave with the impression of having touched a fragment of history. For lovers of Parisian charm, good taste and rare addresses, this is a morning rendezvous not to be missed!
