Les Roseaux, the new Hangar Y restaurant in Meudon, designed by Laura Portelli and Christophe Saintagne

Les Roseaux, the new restaurant at the Hangar Y in Meudon, offers seasonal cuisine by Laura Portelli and Christophe Saintagne, to be discovered from Wednesday to Sunday in 2025 in a bucolic setting.

Head for Meudon, just a few minutes from Paris, to discover Hangar Y, arestaurant and terrace designed by Studio Perrier. Adjacent to the Hangar Y, now a cultural venue, we discover a new building offering not only a huge dining room, but also and above all a terrace on the water's edge for a guaranteed change of scenery.

The Hangar Y restaurant is the fruit of collaboration between Urban-Act, the Perchoir group and interior designer Fanny Perrier (Studio Perrier). She imagined a dreamlike environment, blending past and present, where the restaurant is an artists' refuge set on the water. The convivial atmosphere is enhanced by architectural and decorative elements inspired by different styles and eras. Located in the Hauts-de-Seine department, this new restaurant and terrace at the gateway to Paris offers a bucolic and poetic setting, ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.

The restaurant's menu, formerly designed by Guillaume Sanchez, is changing hands. Helmed by Laura Portelli, Pierre Gagnaire's long-time partner, and Christophe Saintagne, a former three-starred chef from Le Meurice and Papillon, the new restaurant offers seasonal, local, comforting cuisine with a family feel. The spirit of gourmet simplicity is evident, with weekend sharing dishes - roast chicken with herbs, beef Wellington - echoing memories of a Sunday lunch on the banks of the Seine.

The place itself is an invitation to contemplation. Suspended between art, nature and history, Hangar Y, built at the end of the 19th century to house airships, offers a unique atmosphere where industrial heritage and contemporary design meet. The light-filled restaurant extends this harmony with raw materials, soft colors and a breathtaking view of the water. Lunch is served from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12pm to 2:30pm, while cocktails and homemade pastries are served in the afternoon tea room, from 3pm to 5pm (6pm on Sundays). Dinner is served on Fridays and Saturdays from 7pm to 10pm.

The deliberately limited menu evolves with the seasons and echoes the venue's artistic programming. In January, a velvety Jerusalem artichoke may precede a roasted pollack; in May, peas and red berries. Here, there's no showboating: the products are the heroes of the plate, sublimated by precise cooking, clean seasoning and a discreet touch of audacity. This is contemporary cuisine at its most precious: sincerity.

On the practical side, booking allows free access to the park, parking is available, and the atmosphere remains family-friendly without ever being noisy. Les Roseaux has established itself as a new meeting place for those interested in culture and good food, just like Hangar Y, which combines exhibitions, concerts and nature walks. An address to discover in any season, for a country lunch a stone's throw from Paris, with your feet in the water and your head in the stars.

In fine weather and from May onwards, the festive guinguette takes up residence in the undergrowth by the lake.

The program includes refreshments, spreads and sausages to nibble on, and barbecues planned for the weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Chicken supreme, Basque ribeye and grilled halloumi and sausages await you.

Ideal for families, the site also boasts a huge playground in the middle of the forest, where children can play and climb on wooden structures.

As a reminder, the mythical Hangar Y, the world's first airship workshop, has reopened its doors after 40 years of closure. This new cultural venue offers a rich program of science, art and culture. Located on the same estate, Les Roseaux restaurant is the ideal spot for a bite to eat after a delightful visit.

Set in a magnificent natural setting, the spot invites you to take a stroll. We recommend a stroll around the lake, where you'll see some lovely monumental works of art.
