First opened in 1946, L’Auberge Bressane is known for its traditional French cuisine and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Located near Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant has recently reopened following several months of renovation, marking a new chapter and staying true to its roots. Now part of Lapérouse Holdings, the restaurant has been refreshed, with restored wallpaper, renewed furnishings and interiors that preserve its old-world charm.
The menu remains firmly rooted in French bourgeois cooking and the flavours of Burgundy, with a strong focus on its much-loved classics. Highlights include œufs en meurette, crayfish gratin, soufflé with aged Comté, coq au vin and the famous chicken in cream sauce with Vin Jaune and morel mushrooms. Everything celebrates generous portions, quality ingredients and the pleasure of traditional cooking.
For nearly 80 years, L’Auberge Bressane has remained true to its traditional French cuisine and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Guided by the spirit of “friends first”, the restaurant has built a reputation as a place to gather, share a meal and enjoy the pleasure of familiar faces around the table. During the warmer months, the terrace extends this convivial atmosphere beyond the main dining room.
The recent renovation has refreshed the interiors while preserving the character of the restaurant. From the restored wallpaper to the renewed floors, blinds and furnishings, every detail reflects a commitment to maintaining its old-world charm. Banquettes, wood panelling and lighting complete the setting, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and welcoming.
Wine is another major draw, with a carefully curated list of 650 references, featuring Champagne houses and Burgundy producers. From the classic interiors to the generous dishes and extensive wine list, every detail encourages you to slow down, enjoy the moment and share a meal around the table.
Over the decades, L’Auberge Bressane has welcomed a number of well-known guests, including François Mitterrand, Catherine Deneuve, John McEnroe, John Kerry and Rosalía. Singer Serge Lama was also known to jot down song lyrics on the restaurant’s order notebooks. Today, the restaurant continues to celebrate the simple pleasures that have defined it since 1946: traditional French cuisine, a welcoming atmosphere and the pleasure of sharing a meal.
