A new week-end prolongé awaits a slice of the Français at the end of mai. Indeed, while some are on duty on the lundi de Pentecôte, owing to the solidarity day, others will take advantage of this three-day week-end de 3 jours to recharge and enjoy the pleasures the capital has to offer.
Not to mention that in Paris, jour férié never rhymes with boredom! Proof: the numerous adresses ouvertes on lundi 25 mai 2026, and in particular the restaurants. A note to gourmets who have no wish to skip a good meal: to avoid finding the door closed on this lundi de Pentecôte and to know where to sit, you're in the right place.
When it comes to the menu, the choices are wide-ranging. Traditional bistros, gastronomic restaurants, world cuisines, and bright, fresh plates that celebrate the approaching summer and are perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Note that booking your table remains the best way to avoid disappointments, especially in lively neighborhoods and for venues with a terrace.
Without further ado, here are the best spots for restaurants open on Pentecost Monday in Paris, on May 25, 2026!
