La Grande Cascade
Like many a fine Parisian restaurant, Le Grande Cascade is as well known for its décor as for its menu. Inside the 19th-century former hunting lodge of Napoleon III, with dining rooms of soaring ceilings and towering, ornate windows, the produce-forward menu is fluid, often seeing day-of changes depending on the haul of local pickers, hunters, and fishermen who supply the Michelin-starred venue. If the crispy veal sweetbreads are available, order them to join their legion of admirers. Expect a combination of traditional haute and modern French cuisine in this elegant setting with lush views you can’t find in the city center.
