Best Views of the Seine: La Langosteria Paris

La Langosteria, the Italian restaurant perched on the seventh floor of the prestigious Cheval Blanc hotel, located in the emblematic La Samaritaine building, offers breathtaking views.

Floating above the river, its terrace commands (up close) a panorama of Paris with views of the iconic Pont Neuf, ships sailing along the Seine, Île de la Cité, the dome of the Institut de France, Notre-Dame and the skyline.

Its exquisite menu centers on fish and seafood, with delectable dishes such as sea bass carpaccio with asparagus, grilled wild sea bass with zucchini, the linguine «alla Nerano» with red prawn, the langoustine and foie gras tartare with a reduction of Sauternes wine, charcoal-grilled octopus, and calamari cacciaroli with zucchini, in addition to an outstanding wine list.

Its festive and musical atmosphere, coupled with warm and impeccable service, makes it the best place to survey the heart of Paris.
