Grill enthusiasts and chill-out lovers are eagerly waiting. Where to have a good barbecue in Paris ? Because more than just a delicious treat, BBQ is a lifestyle... And for those who want to extend their vacation, here are the restaurants that will transport you there with their terrace vibes and rosé, offering an Indian summer made in Paris.
The most barge : Quai Ouest
The place. A charming restaurant designed like a chic guinguette with cozy decor : large tables, lanterns, and comfortable cushions in this waterside brasserie. A terrace with a view of the grill for sunny days, and a vast indoor area for those who still feel a bit chilly.
On the grill. Meats and fish are the real highlights of this establishment. Every Tuesday evening, the chef outdoes himself preparing a quality barbecue with a choice of : Beef Onglet "crying tiger" style (€27.50) and Jumbo Thai prawns (€29.50), both served with grilled vegetables or parsley potatoes, cooked on-demand. A real holiday atmosphere!
Quai Ouest, 1200 Quai Marcel Dassault, 92210 Saint-Cloud. Every Tuesday evening from 7 PM to midnight. 01 46 02 35 54.

The most hipster : Laia
The place. Laia, the brainchild of Pierre Doublet and Quentin Garreau de Labarre, settled at the back of the stylish coworking space Deskopolitan, taking the place of a former Parisian distillery.
On the grill. Top chef Tania Cadeddu has taken over the kitchen since January 2023 and works wonders. The chef has reinterpreted robata cuisine, a Japanese-Iberian barbecue specialty of Laia, with her Sardinian influences. This results in dishes like robata octopus with smoked zucchini cream, feta, and cherry pickles (€26), and an extraordinary pork shoulder with red pepper cream, new potatoes, and tarragon sauce (€22). Don't forget to wash down the feast with a bottle of Moscato d’Asti bubbles (€50).
Laia Restaurant, 226 Boulevard Voltaire, Paris 11th. Open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 am to midnight. Online reservations.
The most rural : l'ILE
The place. Designed as a farmhouse with the Soho House touch staged by Laura Gonzalez, L'Île promises a countryside house just 10 minutes away from the Étoile via Uber... All summer, the Brasero & Rosé event takes over the ultra-trendy terrace garden. Treat yourself to delicious grilled dishes with a glass of rosé in hand. Isn't life beautiful?
On the grill. The unmissable Irish Cut rib-eye steak with homemade béarnaise sauce (€72 to share). Or a French chimichurri chicken skewer with new potatoes (€24.50).
L'Île, 170 Quai de Stalingrad, Parc de l’Ile Saint-Germain, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux. Every Wednesday evening from 7 PM to 11 PM. 01 41 09 99 99.
Pool Party extra : Splash
The place. Splash is the address by Hakim Gaouaoui that is making waves in Western Paris, with the local jet-set flocking to the venue. The vibe? Asnières is the new Saint-Tropez. The idea : recreate the spirit of the private beaches of Pampelonne with a swimming pool and good music.
On the grill. A brazier set by the pool where the chef grills exceptional pieces daily this summer : incredible octopus (€39.50), secreto, a piece of soy-glazed pork with grilled vegetables (€42.50), or a real rib of beef served with béarnaise fries (€59.50). Wash it all down with a pool of Racine rosé from the Isle of Beauty (€9) or a cocktail (€15-18). It’s paradise.
Splash Port Van Gogh, Asnières-sur-Seine 92600 Asnières Sur Seine - Access via Pont de Clichy. Open every day from Monday to Sunday, from 12 pm to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 11 pm. Reservations recommended at 01 47 98 30 45 or online.
