Three terraces to explore Paris this summer, with Fitz Group restaurants

You’re looking for a terrace in Paris to lunch, dine, sip a drink, or share a brunch this summer? Fitz Group offers three stops in the capital, pairing a Rome-inspired vibe at La Fontaine Gaillon (Paris 2nd), a New Orleans spirit at Fitzgerald (Paris 7th), and a Provençal atmosphere at Abstinence (Paris 15th).

La Fontaine Gaillon: a Rome-tinged pit stop just steps from the Opéra

La Fontaine Gaillon is setting up its terrace around the 18th‑century fountain on Place Gaillon, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. The decor evokes a small Italian square just steps from the Opéra. For the summer, the announced menu includes a sea bass carpaccio with olive oil, burrata with cherry tomatoes, gnocchi with tomato and basil, and a sole meunière. A rhubarb and fresh strawberry pavlova is among the desserts. On Sundays, the restaurant also offers a family‑friendly brunch, with activities planned for kids during the meal.

Fitzgerald: cocktails and the spirit of New Orleans near the Invalides

Fitzgerald builds an ambience inspired by New Orleans jazz bars, with a speakeasy vibe inside and a sunny, relaxed terrace. The menu pairs wines, cocktails, and shareable plates (also available to order individually). This spot is ideal for an aperitif, a dinner with friends, or an evening in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a stone's throw from the Invalides. On Sundays, a family-friendly brunch rounds out the offering.
