We arrived after the lunch rush and were seated on the terrace with a view of the impressive opera house. There are choices we’ve not seen in other restaurants in France. The wine selection is vast and, according to my husband, the beer list is interesting. Desserts, the classic French favorites, eclairs, napoleons, and chocolate ganache are a few of their offerings. Of course, steak frites and a large cheese platter are offered. You’ll find a variety of salads, sandwiches and burgers, all with a french twist. The starters include the quintessential French onion soup, escargots with buttery garlic parsley sauce, and a platter of oysters. Menu: The lunch menu will suit every palate. It’s difficult to miss, look for the hunter green awnings and the long queue of people waiting to get grab a terrace seat. Location: 5 Place de l’Opéra in the InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel, a stone’s throw from the opera house. The French government named the Café de la Paix a historic site – a well-deserved distinction. It’s just as popular today as it was during its belle epoque beginning. Over the years, a who’s who of customers spent many an hour nursing a drink or grabbing a bite…from Victor Hugo to Charles de Gaulle. It also has one of the best views from its terrace-the iconic Paris Opera House. Established in 1862, Café de la Paix is one of the oldest and best-known restaurants in the city of light.
