Picture this: antipasti and a bottle of chilled rosé just steps from the Marais, with waterfront views and DJ sets filling the air. Sounds like a mirage? Think again. Revamped by Laurent de Gourcuff’s Paris Society group (behind Baronne, Maxim's…), Le Grand Bleu is back with a new Mediterranean vibe. Set right on the charming Port de l’Arsenal in Bastille, it feels like a Milanese guinguette in the heart of Paris.
A secret Italian hideaway by the canal
Just follow the steps near the Opéra Bastille down to the marina and you’ll find Le Grand Bleu’s two-level setup: a massive lower terrace perfect for partying, and a calmer rooftop lounge with 360° views above. Order a chilled bottle of white or rosé (€29), a Chandon Garden Spritz (€13), or share a house-made XXL cocktail (€18 for 50cl) right at your table.
To nibble on?
Go for the wood-fired pizzas (from €13–€17) for a satisfying bite, or opt for light and fresh bites like melon/watermelon/feta salad (€10), cherry tomato burrata with pesto (€12), or a gourmet Bellota Bellota charcuterie board (€19). Ideal for an early evening hangout with chill vibes guaranteed.
