Le Cafe de L'Est
About
Located directly across from Paris’s Gare de l’Est, Café de l’Est offers a convivial brasserie experience that blends classic French hospitality with modern flair. Managed by longtime chef Benoît Triadou, the menu highlights regional specialties such as Lorraine choucroute, onion soup, and a house‑made foie gras terrine, alongside seasonal stand‑outs like salmon pennes and a hearty Aubrac beef cheeseburger. With 150 seats, 45 of which are set aside in a private room, the restaurant caters to both casual diners and business groups alike. The outdoor terrace provides a sweeping view of the train station, making it an ideal spot for a coffee break or a relaxed lunch while waiting for a train or catching up with friends. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., the café welcomes locals, tourists, and commuters who crave authentic French fare in a welcoming setting.
