Christmas takes on a special dimension when celebrated in Paris. To experience this time of year in an elegant and welcoming setting, the Bistro Parisien offers a festive experience right by the Seine, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Combining fine dining, a festive atmosphere, and sightseeing from the water, this Christmas lunch or dinner is a wonderful opportunity to share a special moment with family, a partner, or friends.
Boasting a remarkable location, the Bistro Parisien allows guests to enjoy an iconic Parisian setting while savoring a meal specially crafted for the holidays. The experience blends culinary pleasure with sightseeing, as a Seine river cruise ticket is included for every guest.
A Christmas meal in an exceptional setting
Choosing the Bistro Parisien for your Christmas celebration means enjoying a prime location on the banks of the Seine. Situated at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant offers a setting perfectly suited to a festive occasion. Whether after a day of exploring Paris or before continuing your evening in the capital, this is the perfect opportunity to take a relaxing break and enjoy a festive meal.
The setting is one of the experience's greatest assets. Its immediate proximity to the Eiffel Tower places one of Paris’s most famous landmarks at the heart of your Christmas outing. The Seine also adds a pleasant, distinctive atmosphere—especially delightful during the season when Paris is adorned with holiday decorations and winter charm.
Whether you choose lunch or dinner, the goal remains the same: to enjoy a convivial meal in an iconic Parisian setting.
A menu designed for the holiday spirit
The meal is structured around several courses to create a true gastronomic experience. The package includes, among other things, an amuse-bouche, a starter, a main course, a selection of cheeses, and a dessert.
The sample menu features, for instance, a semi-smoked salmon heart accompanied by a Jerusalem artichoke cream and Corsican clementine to start. The starter highlights Southwest duck foie gras, served with a pear and fig chutney and toasted Parisian brioche.
The main course on the sample menu pairs Label Rouge Landes chicken with morel mushrooms, creamy mashed potatoes, and a vin jaune (yellow wine) sauce. A selection of aged French cheeses follows, accompanied by mixed baby greens and dried-fruit bread.
To conclude this gourmet experience, the dessert is a Lenôtre citrus and orange blossom Yule log—a creation perfectly suited to the spirit of Christmas.
It is important to note that the menu described here is an example of a holiday menu; dishes are subject to change based on availability. This allows for flexibility in organizing the experience.
Drinks included to accompany the meal
The package goes beyond just the food courses; several drinks are also included to accompany the various stages of the meal.
The lineup includes Pommery champagne served as an aperitif and with dessert, as well as a Pays d’Oc IGP Chardonnay-Viognier and an AOP Médoc wine. Mineral water and coffee are also provided.
One 75cl bottle of wine is allocated for every four guests. These inclusions allow you to enjoy a Christmas meal in a festive atmosphere without the need to separately arrange the drinks to accompany the menu. ### Includes a sightseeing cruise on the Seine
A particularly appealing feature of this experience is the inclusion of a complimentary ticket for a sightseeing cruise on the Seine for every participant.
This cruise offers a chance to see Paris from a different perspective. From the water, you can admire several of the capital’s major landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay.
The cruise can be taken independently of the meal, offering greater flexibility when planning your itinerary. For instance, you could spend part of the day exploring Parisian neighborhoods, enjoy your meal at the Bistro Parisien, and then use your cruise ticket at your convenience.
Combining a meal with a river cruise adds an extra dimension to the booking. It is not merely a lunch or dinner, but an experience that blends fine dining with sightseeing.
