The Brach terrace, Paris 16th, in Italian mode

Le Brach's spacious, cosy terrace, located on the 1st floor of the trendy hotel in Paris's 16th arrondissement, is going Italian, in a nod to the forthcoming opening of Le Brach Rome.

How about a trip to Rome while staying in Paris? Let's head for the 1st floor terrace of Brach Paris, which goes Italian this April for the 2025 summer season, to coincide with the forthcoming opening of Brach Rome.

Located in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, this terrace offers an immersive and convivial experience. Exotic furnishings, including comfortable armchairs and banquettes, warm lighting and raw materials such as natural oak, metal, leather and marble, contribute to the exotic atmosphere.

With the return of fine weather, the first-floor terrace at Brach Paris reinvents itself. This season, the place imagined by Philippe Starck takes on an Italian air, as a prelude to the forthcoming opening of the Brach house in Rome. In this warm, uncluttered setting, bathed in golden light at the end of the day, you can sit up high and contemplate Paris, with thoughts of the Roman dolce vita.

Here, every detail evokes the natural elegance of Italy. The menu, designed with precision by chef Adam Bentalha, gives pride of place to exceptional products rigorously sourced in Italy. Chopped antipasti, marinated vegetables, fine cured meats and mature cheeses are served in a friendly, almost confidential atmosphere. Generosity is present, without ever overdoing it.

At the bar, Jérémy Bacquet offers a series of inspired cocktails with a subtle balance, where the light bitterness of a Negroni meets the freshness of a revisited spritz. Lovers of fine wines are not forgotten: a transalpine selection accompanies the plates, like an invitation to travel between Tuscany, Piedmont and Sicily.

The Brach Paris terrace is open without reservation, Tuesday to Saturday, from 4.30pm to 11pm. A great way to enjoy the mild weather in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, a stone's throw from rue de la Pompe and not far from the Trocadéro.

Between the skies of Paris and the flavors of Italy, this is the place to go for a timeless Mediterranean interlude, to be enjoyed over a drink, a lingering conversation or a simple ray of sunshine. In short, if you're looking for a pretty terrace, combining the essence of Paris and Rome through tapas and inspired cocktails, head for Le Brach. Then, why not climb higher for an exceptional view of the capital? Head for the Rooftop du Brach, perched in its vegetable garden.
