7th Arrondissement
Le Voltaire
Much like the iconic landmarks nearby, Le Voltaire is a classic Paris bistro that stands the test of time in the chic 7eme arrondisement. Perhaps the restaurant’s riverfront location, emerald green awning, and shiny wood paneling outside gives rise to the high prices. Still, patrons return for the high quality food and the romantic interior (wood paneling, golden lighting, intimate tables). Some come for the entrée-sized les salades with delicacies such as lobster, avocado, and deviled eggs. Other mains include the beef tenderloin au poivre, roast chicken, and herb omelette.
Insider Tip:
Le Voltaire makes for a perfect midday pit stop between museums. Visit Le Louvre in the morning. Then, cross Point Royal to Le Voltaire. After lunch, walk to nearby Musée D’Orsay.
