Les Ombres
About
Les Ombres is a modern culinary oasis perched on the roof terrace of the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. The restaurant’s floor‑to‑ceiling glass walls create a hanging‑garden atmosphere, where Mediterranean plants frame panoramic views of Paris and the glittering Eiffel Tower. During the day the iconic monument casts delicate lace‑shaped metallic shadows over the tables, while at night its golden lights illuminate the dining area, and the ceiling itself transforms into a breathtaking starry sky every hour. The menu is a celebration of contemporary French cuisine with a Mediterranean twist, crafted by chef Rui Martins. Guests can choose from two elegant lunch menus (€48 and €65) and two sophisticated dinner menus (€98 and €118), all served with complimentary champagne, wine, and hot beverages. Seasonal festive menus, including a seven‑course dinner for Christmas Eve and a special Christmas lunch, highlight the restaurant’s culinary creativity. Whether you’re seeking a romantic dinner, a business lunch with impeccable service, or a memorable culinary experience in a rooftop garden, Les Ombres offers a setting that blends refined gastronomy with spectacular city views.
