Visited in April, 2012
This highly recommended restaurant is one of the many in Paris which offer food with stunning views. We came across it while looking for a restaurant with a view and we had to search for a lot of options since due to the fact that it was April, not many restaurants of its kind were open.
Reservation, according to the official website has to be done at least three days beforehand so we went on and made one through the phone for lunch at 2pm.
The restaurant stands at the top of Musée du quai Branly and there is a lift at the entrance of the café Branly to get to the 5th floor. The restaurant is not really big but all of the tables are seated in a way that everyone gets an eyeful taste of the Eiffel Tower. The glass ceiling of Les Obres seems somehow trying to resemble the tower in its background.
The menu has plenty of options to choose from including the a la carte menus with the option of having entrée+main course or main course+dessert for €26. We went for the former choice and ordered a glass of a fantastic Bandol rosé wine served chilled. The gastronomic food which was decorated in artistic perfection was a real eye opener and both the starter and main course managed to tantalise our tastebuds. Don't be fooled by the small portion of food served in your plate, that's for sure!
After finishing our lunch, we went outside on the terrace where we could enjoy right in front of us the Eiffel Tower to its best.
Les Obres is an expensive choice for having lunch but you can't buy that view anywhere else and our next visit to Paris will probably include a dinner there.
