Tous au Restaurant 2026 in Paris: the return of the great deal — buy one menu, get one free

Tous au Restaurant makes its big return in 2026 after a seven-year hiatus: from June 1 to 14, nearly 1,000 restaurants across France, including Paris, are offering a free menu with the purchase of a menu, by reservation. We’ve got all the details.

The Tous au Restaurant operation is back, and that’s welcome news for Paris and Île-de-France food lovers as well as gourmands across the country. After seven years off the air, this national initiative returns from June 1 to June 14, 2026, with a principle as simple as it is appealing: one menu purchased, one menu free at nearly 1,000 participating restaurants nationwide. Reservations have been open online since May 26, and spots disappear fast.

This move is no accident. The restaurant sector has been navigating tough times for years, with rising input costs, slipping table turnover, and changing eating habits. In this climate, restaurateurs have decided to lean into accessibility, literally inviting their guests to sit down together at the same table. The campaign’s slogan says it all: "Your guest is our guest".

How does Tous au Restaurant 2026 work?

The idea is simple: you pay for your own menu, and your companion’s is on the house. But don’t wander up to the counter demanding the discount—reservations are exclusively online through TheFork. Each participating restaurant offers the deal for a limited number of covers per service, so it’s best to book in advance. Restaurateurs wishing to join can sign up directly at Tous au Restaurant.

An opportunity to test out tables we don’t usually dare push together

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the scheme is this: some use it to finally treat themselves to a gastronomic or bistronomic table that had long been out of reach, while others seize the chance to introduce a friend to a neighborhood chef they admire. The initiative makes gastronomy more accessible, without diluting the experience, since each establishment retains control over its offering and the warmth of its welcome.

Also, if you’re just looking to pay less for a Japanese restaurant or a bistro, it’s still a great option for two to eat out on a budget. It’s not every day you split the bill in two!

This initiative is for anyone who loves dining out but, in the face of inflation and the rising cost of living, has started going less often. It’s also a wonderful way to enjoy a meal with a partner, family, or friends, sharing a table together rather than rushing through a quick bite.
