Les restaurants du Musee d’Orsay

About

Les restaurants du Musée d’Orsay is a culinary destination nestled within the historic halls of Paris’s famed Musée d’Orsay. Housed in the former Hôtel d’Orsay, the complex welcomes visitors on a grand, Belle‑Epoque‑era setting where frescoes by Gabriel Ferrier and Benjamin Constant adorn the ceilings. The restaurant itself offers a seasonal menu curated by Chef Yann Landureau, blending classic French cuisine with contemporary twists inspired by current exhibitions. Beyond the main dining room, the site hosts several complementary venues: Café Campana on the museum’s 5th‑floor terrace offers light, contemporary dishes in an Art Nouveau ambience; the Terrasse provides panoramic views of the Seine and a selection of drinks and snacks during the summer season; Café de la Gare invites guests to a relaxed coffee‑shop experience in the museum’s central nave; and the Kiosque du Parvis, located outside the former railway station, serves quick bites such as falafel, sandwiches and desserts. All venues are accessible to visitors with a museum ticket, and opening hours vary by location: the restaurant opens Monday‑Friday as a dining room and from 3 p.m. as a tea salon, while the cafés open from 9:30 a.m. and the terrace operates during the summer period. Meals can be enjoyed without prior reservations; however, for group events please contact the commercial department at commercial.orsaymusiam-paris.com. The ensemble delivers a unique blend of historic ambience, culinary excellence, and varied dining options on a single museum floor, making it a must‑visit for food lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.
