The warm, nautical ambience combined with the vibrant port views makes La Samaritaine an iconic experience for both locals and visitors exploring the city’s maritime heritage. Hours are 8:30 am – 8:30 pm every day (except on the 25 December when the brasserie is closed), and the friendly staff encourages guests to book in advance for special events or larger groups.
