Adjacent to the Musée Nissim de Camondo, Le Camondo has one of the prettiest terraces in Paris. Surrounded by palm trees and other large leafy plants, visitors can explore the new menu by Fanny Herpin (formerly of Alain Ducasse) and Medhi Boucenna (formerly of Les Fables de la Fontaine). Advocates of using locally grown, seasonal produce, the pair regularly reinvent their menu according to what they find at the market. At the moment, that means white asparagus from the Landes region, a French burratina with jalapeño, pollack with ponzu, and Gariguette strawberries with Breton shortbread.
Maison Revka
The terrace at Maison Revka, which has opened just in time for the arrival of summer, stretches across 1,000 square meters of patio with immaculate ivy-covered trellises, basins overflowing with flowers, stately trees, vintage lampposts, fringed parasols, and statues of Greek goddesses. Inspired by the world of Visconti’s films, the décor, by designer Laleh Amir Assefi, also features wrought-iron furniture adorned with country-chic fabrics. The menu is full of seaside favorites, including generous platters and seafood towers overflowing with langoustines, whelks, prawns, oysters, and lobsters. Other favorites include smoked salmon, coulibiac, caviar linguine, and, for dessert, strawberry-basil pavlova and chocolate tart.
