Trocadéro Restaurants: 21 Tables Worth Crossing the Seine For
Place du Trocadéro has the best Eiffel Tower photo in Paris and some of its most forgettable cafés, priced for the view and staffed for the crowds. The 16th around it looks residential and a little formal, and many visitors leave having eaten nothing but a crêpe.
That's a mistake. These 21 restaurants in the 16th arrondissement, from Trocadéro to the Bois de Boulogne, include rooftop dining, Cantonese dim sum and some of the city's most personal starred tables, all cross-checked across the guides locals trust. See also our places with a view and Michelin with a view.
Cantonese haute cuisine led by Chef Tony Xu in the luxurious setting of the Shangri-La Hotel, where traditional dim sum artistry meets French gastronomic refinement.

Trocadéro restaurants: how to choose in the 16th
The 16th is one of the most upscale arrondissements on our list: nearly everything sits in the top price bracket. So lunch menus and a clear sense of the occasion matter. Filter by price, then open the map: the list runs from Trocadéro and the avenues around it down to the Seine and out to the Bois de Boulogne. For more of the same register, see our upscale restaurants.
Views over the tower
L'Oiseau Blanc, on the roof of The Peninsula Paris, pairs David Bizet's contemporary French cooking with views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur, and holds two Michelin stars. Ducasse sur Seine takes the idea afloat: an electric boat gliding past lit-up monuments while you dine. More in our Michelin 2-star selection.
Dim sum and the Bois de Boulogne
Shang Palace, at the Shangri-La hotel, is the address for Cantonese haute cuisine; go for weekend lunch, when the dim sum shines, or order the Peking duck served two ways. Le Pré Catelan, a Napoleon III pavilion in the Bois de Boulogne, is Frédéric Anton's three-star table. See our Chinese restaurants and Michelin 3-star pages.
Small rooms, big cooking
Alan Geaam, the first chef of Lebanese origin to earn a Michelin star in France, seats fewer than twenty; Ōrtensia has just 20 seats for Terumitsu Saito's French cooking with a Japanese touch. Comice pairs seasonal French plates with a sharp wine list, and Substance brings Jura flavors and low-sugar desserts. For something relaxed, Sables serves Breton seafood to share (closed Sunday and Monday). Bellefeuille, with both a red and a green Michelin star, cooks from its own garden of over 250 varieties, and L'Archeste changes its menu every day. Browse all Michelin 1-star restaurants.
