Located at the corner of rue de Fabert and rue de Grenelle, this elegant brasserie with its sober and refined decor offers a worldly cuisine
Strategically located at the corner of rue Fabert and rue de Grenelle, this elegant brasserie has a view of the Hôtel des Invalides. The brick-colored armchairs and the "cannonball" chandeliers of the early days have been replaced by a more sober but equally refined decor, with green armchairs this time. On the plates, the cuisine is... mundane, drawing from an international repertoire. An autumn menu mixed shrimp dim sum, tomato-basil rigatoni, porcini omelette and club sandwich.

Members' reviews on CAFÉ DE L'ESPLANADE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The staff was fine, but not very friendly, and they seemed incredibly unwelcoming to us. We came in the morning, and because of the name "Cafe" and the breakfast menu, we assumed they would be ready to serve breakfast. When we walked in, they were clearly not prepared to receive guests. They were still vacuuming, and there was not a single soul in the restaurant yet. It was a very bizarre atmosphere.
The food was really not very good and we basically blew our budget for the day on that egg. We should have checked the prices on the menu before entering, but honestly no egg should be 14 euro. For that price, I could literally buy 7 dozen eggs.
