Top of the Galeries Lafayette

A quest to eat well requires one of two things.  Knowledge about food, or finding someone who knows about food.  Or more importantly, where to find food.


This takes research.  Good food does not always advertise.  Sometimes like a Marvel vigilante, it hides aloof on the rooftops gazing at the city.


And as luck has its whims, not only was it a great view, but also some great food.


Each summer, the Galleries Lafayette opens a restaurant on its roof.  Since it is taller than most of its surroundings, the view is spectacular.  You get a clear view of the skyline as well as a rare view of the Opera – a building decadent even from behind.

To compliment, the food was great.  At standard Paris pricing, the Japanese/French fusion was interesting while still appetizing.  The weather was cooperative as well, making for a great afternoon meal.


If you ever get a chance, the top of this world famous mall is well worth the ascent.
