The most Parisian: Le Relais de la Butte

The smallest of the selection but we love it so much... It's the kind of place that would drive a tourist crazy. At the top of Ravignan Street, just a stone's throw from Abbesses metro station, you come across a small café typical of the French style, with a large terrace on the cobblestones and above all, a breathtaking view. Sheltered from cars, you settle in this spot that has the atmosphere of a village square often exposed to the sun. The perfect place to sip a coke while soaking up the sun in peace and quiet.

Le Relais de la Butte
12, rue Ravignan – 18th
Open every day from 8am to 1am

The most bucolic: Île Anaë

Until September, the Perchoir Chalet des Îles de Daumesnil partners with the famous gin Anaë and chef Manon Fleury to become Île Anaë. A culinary and gustatory double residency that promises to delight our taste buds. This spot, resembling a country house, offers us a breath of fresh air, thanks to the talented chef's sensitive, plant-based, and responsible cuisine, as well as the privileged setting by the lake, in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes.

Île Anaé
Route des îles, bois de Vincennes – 12th
Thursday to Saturday from 6pm to 2am
Sunday from 12pm until sunset


The chillest spot: 88 Ménilmontant

For those who don't know the place yet, it's the ultimate chill spot in the 20th arrondissement. In a large garden, comfortably sit on vintage furniture, beach chairs with your feet in the sand, and enjoy a vintage vibe for a timeless moment. All of this, if Mr. Sun decides to show up. To satisfy your appetite, you can indulge in delicious Thai dishes from L'Échappée and enjoy sweet and savory snacks from Café des Sports, both restaurants are just a stone's throw away.

88 Ménilmontant
88, rue de Ménilmontant – 20e
Du mercredi au dimanche en avril
Du mardi au dimanche de mai à septembre


The most festive: Le Papa Cabane

In the heart of Bercy Park, Le Papa Cabane is in charge of bringing the party as soon as the sunny days arrive. The recipe is simple: 1000 m2 of summery terrace, woody atmosphere, colorful cushions, and plenty of DJ sets... It's the preferred spot for Parisians from the East as soon as spring arrives, whether it's for an afterwork or a weekend. And the good news is, it reopens on Thursday, May 4th!

Le Papa Cabane
Rue Paul Belmondo – 12e
Ouverture jeudi 4 mai 2023 à 18h


The most delicious: Ground Control

This multidisciplinary venue at the Charolais market in the 12th arrondissement welcomes all Parisians, no matter the season. And like every spring and summer, the spacious 1500 m2 terrace offers us a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beautiful days. It's also a chance to discover the five new street food counters! From Vietnamese with Banh Mi 17, to Latin American with Tasty Trip, cheesy sandwiches with Les Françaises, all kinds of crispy delights with CRRSP, and finally, Caribbean cuisine with Boukan. Indulge yourself!

Ground Control
81, rue du Charolais – 12e
À partir du 19 avril 2023


The coziest: La Cité fertile 

Here's another place where we love to hang out and enjoy the sunshine. La Cité fertile hosts a variety of wonderful events throughout the year and tantalizes our taste buds with its locally sourced and well-thought-out food offerings from the restaurant La Source. For spring and summer, this address offers a locavore barbecue experience (just the way we like it) with both meat and vegetarian grill options. You can also treat yourself to the various street food stalls, lovingly selected by the team at La Cité fertile.

La Cité Fertile
14 Edouard-Vaillant Avenue – Pantin
Open from Monday to Wednesday from 12pm to 6pm, from Thursday to Saturday until 1am and on Sundays until 8pm
