La Fantaisie's hidden green terrace reinvents itself Paris 9th arrondissement

La Fantaisie Paris, an elegant hotel in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, hides a beautiful green terrace, which is now revealing a new face after renovation work. Tucked away on rue Cadet, this confidential address is a veritable hidden garden in the heart of the city, now with 20 additional seats. We invite you on a bucolic escapade, between flowers, lush greenery and sunny dishes.

Behind the discreet facade of this 9th arrondissement hotel lies a world of its own, imagined by designer Martin Brudnizki. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a novel: plush banquettes, intimate tables, delicate glassware and a majestic olive tree enthroned in the center of the restaurant. This enchanting setting extends onto an enlarged terrace, where every nook and cranny invites you to relax. It's here that the summer menu comes to life, driven by fresh, plant-based cuisine.

In fact, don't stop at the terrace in front of La Fantaisie- it's indoors where you'll find an oasis of greenery. Whether you opt for full sun or discreet tables in the shade, the restaurant caters for all tastes. Let's choose a little of both and discover the Mediterranean-inspired menu.

Signature dishes include Campari-glazed sea bream ceviche, King Crab salad and rigatoni with stracciatella pesto, an elegant celebration of the season. The tuna tataki with peanut sauce and chicken with cheese orzo, on the à la carte menu that day, are sure to win you over. The chef plays on contrasts and textures, with fresh, inspired dishes that evoke a balmy southern summer's day.

For those looking for a gourmet break without excess, the €34 lunch menu, available Monday to Friday lunchtime, is an excellent deal. It includes a starter and a main course, or a main course and a dessert, accompanied by a hot drink. It's the ideal way to discover the chef's cuisine at an affordable price, in a privileged setting right in the heart of Paris.
