We're all familiar with boat cruises on the Seine, which offer gourmet meals along the banks to discover the buildings of Paris. Riding the wave, the friends behind Bustronome have come up with an innovative concept, inviting us to climb aboard a bus for an exceptional meal.
Whether you're with the family or just the two of you, embark on a two-hour gourmet journey through the streets of Paris, discovering the Louvre Pyramid, the Concorde, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. In all, 8 of the capital's monuments reveal their secrets on this tour, thanks to the exceptional view offered by the bus's panoramic terrace.
At each stop, an exclusive audio device lets you discover the history of the greatest monuments in just two minutes, discreetly, thanks to a personal state-of-the-art stylus. With no lecturers or headphones to distract you from chatting with friends, the bustronome is committed to providing a unique experience in the heart of Paris.
On the plate, Vincent Thiessé has adapted the finesse of bistronomic cuisine to the working conditions imposed by the bustronome. The dishes are seasonal, designed to delight discerning palates with a panorama of flavors. Foie gras, sea bass or sea bream, guinea fowl or veal, all products await you depending on your choice of lunch or dinner.
At lunchtime, the meal consists of four courses: starter, fish course, meat course and dessert: this tasting format allows for a meal in two hours, and is intended to be light on the palate. In the evening, the meal consists of six courses, for a more complete experience, over the course of a two-and-a-half-hour culinary journey.
We really fell in love with this innovative, unique and intelligent concept. You feel very little of the bustronome's movements, and you let yourself be invaded by the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the waiters. It's a natural way to wander around the capital, rediscovering the monuments we know so well with new eyes.
