On July 13, 2026, the traditional fireworks launched from the Eiffel Tower is brought forward and, as every year, promising to be one of the summer’s biggest events in Paris. For those seeking a prime viewing spot, the restaurant Aqua Kyoto bets on its spectacular rooftop overlooking the city’s rooftops.
Located facing the Iron Lady, this Japanese-inspired restaurant offers, for the occasion, a one-service evening starting at 7pm. The idea is to enjoy the spectacle in an intimate setting, between gastronomic dining and panoramic views of one of Paris's most iconic monuments.
For this special date, the House unveils a limited-time menu crafted especially for the occasion. The meal begins with several creations with Japanese influences: edamame, black cod gyozas served with caviar, as well as a selection of makis, sushis and sashimis highlighting in particular scallops, amberjack, snow crab, eel, foie gras, and toro tuna.
For the main course, guests can choose between a roasted Chilean sea bass, finished with a caviar‑butter emulsion, or an Australian wagyu ribeye, accompanied by flambéed foie gras, truffle jus, furikake rice and robata‑grilled asparagus. The meal closes with a sharing dessert platter centered on the table, featuring a yuzu cheesecake and a selection of mochis.
Priced at €380 per person, this experience emphasizes both the cuisine and the panorama, with the Eiffel Tower fireworks as a backdrop going off at nightfall!
And for those who want to extend the festivities, festivities, Aqua Kyoto also welcomes visitors on July 14, 2026 from 10:00 around a signature brunch (85€), with that same privileged view of Paris’ celebrations, including the military parade on the Champs-Élysées!
