Paris is full of beautiful terraces, small, large, sunny or shady. Because we don't always feel like settling into the corner café terrace, we have made a selection of the most unusual, coolest, and trendiest restaurants with terraces where you can indulge yourself in Paris. Ready?
Isn't Paris the most beautiful city in the world when the sun's rays decide to come and caress the Seine? One of our favorite activities when the weather is nice is, of course, to go and sit on a terrace, whether it's for lunch or a drink, and let our faces be tickled by the ambient light. But you still have to find the right spot. So we've listed our favorite restaurants with terrace in Paris. Follow the guide!

On the menu: dishes that are both comforting and original, which are sure to put a smile on your face. Our favorite: the truffle penne, but also the... (translation cut off)Well, what can I say? This place is just fabulous! They serve the most delicious oyster cream with parmesan, and the best part is that you can enjoy it on their terrace.

Astair
On the terrace of Astair, you are sheltered from the Parisian tumult and even better, you blend into the decor of this admired gallery by tourists and passersby. Head to the Passage des Panoramas to sit down at this French brasserie, which is chic but not snobbish. As for us, we tried the green asparagus mimosa sabayon with bergamot and it was as light as it was delicious. However, we advise vegetarians to carefully look at the menu beforehand, as the choices can be limited! The menu changes with the seasons, so let yourself be guided by the team's highly relevant suggestions. We also admired Astair's decor, led under the auspices of Tristan Auer, to whom we owe...t la mer.

Rosa Bonheur
We all know these two terraces, but we never get tired of them. Greenery enthusiasts will choose the guinguette of the Parc des Buttes Chaumont while sailors will go for the one by the waterfront near the Pont Alexandre III. Either way, both promise rosé, good food, and above all, a cool atmosphere.

Chez Janou
It's a gem, one of those little treasures that you would like to keep just for yourself. As soon as you arrive, you start speaking with a southern accent and let yourself be seduced by the wall of pastis that opens up in front of us, and it's hard to count the references. We sit down on the lovely terrace. The place is calm, the atmosphere is rural and the cherry tree is in bloom. Everything is perfect. On the menu, a real bistro cuisine with amazing fish.

Le Manfred
With its spacious terrace, bathed in sunlight both at noon and in the evening, and its beautiful wooden decor and lights, Le Manfred immediately invites passers-by to sit down for an indefinite period of time. On the menu, for a change, there is no quinoa, green juice, or detox options, but instead a wide variety of typical brasserie dishes, simple, well-executed, and all homemade: beef tartare, croque monsieur, grilled marinated chicken fillet...On Saturdays and Sundays, the atmosphere isis at a brunch with an all-you-can-eat buffet of sweet and savory treats. Open from 7am to 2am every day, Le Manfred is still one of those rare Parisian addresses where you can order a croque monsieur at 7am or a burger at 4:30pm without being looked at with disapproval. And that, that feels good sometimes!

Les Deux Magots
We'll admit it, the simple coffee here is not cheap, but you also contribute for the view. This place has seen many writers pass through its doors, and has been a major hub for the surrealist movement with André Breton, Robert Desnos, Raymond Queneau...

Another gathering place for writers, but also stormed by the fashion crowd during Fashion Week. To quote Simone de Beauvoir: "the paths to freedom pass through the Flore". Classic yet essential in the history of Parisian writers, the Café de Flore is a living testament to the great French convictions of the 20th century! Besides Simone, the benches of the brasserie were daily frequented by Guillaume Apollinaire, and later by Jacques Prévert, Yves Montant, Roger Vadim, or even Juliette Gréco. And soon, maybe you too?

Les Petites Gouttes
Les Petites Gouttes stands as a stronghold of resistance, an irresistible Gaulish bar in the heart of Marx Dormoy. A trendy decor, beautiful furniture, lots of space, a huge terrace that will make us happy when the good weather returns, a stylish service, an organic/fair-trade approach. We nibble, we sit down at the table for a very attractive menu, at lunchtime or dinner, everything is fine. A place of life, a wonderful all-you-can-eat family brunch on Sundays (€21), lots of aperitifs, many evenings, a consistent line of conduct that asserts itself over the months.

Le Café Renoir
A marvel, hidden just a stone's throw from the Place du Tertre, with a terrace that is as picturesque as it is peaceful.
A true haven of peace with a striking romanticism. Hidden in the heart of the Montmartre museum, the Renoir gardens, where the painter once resided, houses a lovely café that resembles a winter garden under the glass roof. In the garden, a handful of tables scattered in the grass, where it's pleasant to sip tea and indulge in pastries. Just a heads up, since the gardens are part of the museum, there is an entrance fee of 4 euros, or 10 euros for an unlimited annual pass.
