The Foundation opens its bistronomic restaurant on the 8th floor

The Fondation has a big surprise in store for us this autumn! After winning over gourmets with its ground-floor brasserie, this hybrid living space in Paris's 17th arrondissement is about to unveil its second restaurant on the 8th floor. And we're telling you right now, it's going to cause quite a stir in Les Batignolles!

You may already be familiar with La Fondation, the 10,000 m² complex that opened last spring at 40-42 rue Legendre. With its 5-star hotel, spa, rock-climbing wall and rooftop, the place has plenty to offer. But in early September, the establishment will reach a new milestone with the opening of its bistronomic restaurant perched on the 8th floor.

We can't wait to discover this new restaurant! On the program: a breathtaking view of Paris (we're talking about a breathtaking view of the capital from the 8th floor), a meticulous design decor and, above all, a cosy terrace that promises to make for some lovely evenings. The little extra that makes us fall in love? The decorative fireplace, which adds a cosy touch to the atmosphere. So you can enjoy this exceptional view even when the temperature plummets!

In the kitchen, chef Thomas Rossi orchestrates the establishment's two restaurants. This former chef of Jean-François Piège 's is no stranger to us, and we know we can trust him to delight us. For this restaurant on the 8th floor, he promises us modernFrench cuisine with that bistronomic ambiance we love, more relaxed than his brasserie on the first floor but just as tasty.

The restaurant's warm, luminous atmosphere harmonizes with a breathtaking view of the bustling City of Light. The menu is both audacious and refined.

We're telling you, with 40 indoor seats and 40 on the terrace, reservations are sure to go fast! The place already has it all: a privileged location between Parc Monceau and Les Batignolles, a decor signed by New York duo Roman & Williams, and that famous view that promises to be one of the most beautiful in the 17th arrondissement.

The Fondation thus confirms its status as one of the district's must-visit venues. Between the brasserie La Base, open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to midnight, the future bistronomic restaurant on the 8th floor and the rooftop with its 360° panoramic view, there's something for everyone. Whether you prefer a relaxed atmosphere or a more sophisticated evening, you're sure to find what you're looking for.

You'll have to be quick to discover the place as soon as reservations open, scheduled for early September! Easily accessible from the Villiers or Malesherbes stations, this new address promises to be one of the gourmet rendez-vous of the autumn. A great discovery for all those who like to combine good food with an exceptional view over Paris.
