Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Châtelet

This restaurant is over priced. We did not even get a view of the Eiffel Tower during dinner. They save the tables with the best views for people who come in and out for 20-30 min just to have a coffee or 1-2 drinks and leave. This makes no sense. People who travelled to Paris and are paying high prices to eat a full dinner should get the best tables. We were thrown into a crowded room with others sitting very close to our tiny table of two. All we got was pictures with the Eiffel Tower in the background and in the freezing cold after dinner. The music was way too loud and we could not even converse. The waiter did not check up on usduring dinner at all. I had to pour water and wine myself all night.They do not have enough waiters for the amount of diners. The food and wine is overpriced for what you get. They were not even open for New Years Eve or New Years Day. We had to settle for Jan 2 as a compromise. And the word compromise sums up this restaurant. This was my second time ( last time was 5 years ago) and also my last time I am going there. It went down hill since Covid.

Beautiful interior, good ambiance and delicious food. The crème brûlée was incredible!

Tracé is not to be missed. Tracé provides an Inventive, refined and delicious 5 course meal that really didn't miss a step. We had an excellent time and will be back. This is truly an unforgettable restaurant that merits the price tag associated with it. Underpinning the entire experience was a talented front of house waiter who knew the wine and food menu intimately and guided through our culinary adventure with consummate ease. In short, Tracé is mega, keep up the good work, we will be back.

We booked via OpenTable and went there for our Christmas's Eve dinner. The servers were very friendly and very good. The food was amazing and good portion for us, the piano live music was great. Great special entertainment arrangement with musicians for the Christmas events. The restaurant was full. Not far from a metro station, just about 5-10 minutes walk. I will recommend this restaurant.

Great traditional setting. The escargot was very good, the trotter was not to my liking
