Grands Voyageurs is a brasserie with a seafood-focused menu that takes inspiration from French and American influences and focuses on local ingredients, with cheeses from La Ferme de la Tremblaye and charcuterie from the Boucherie La Poularde in the next neighbourhood, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with friends or a leisurely weekend brunch.

If you are going out-out, you won’t find a shortage of spots in St Germain. Poppy, on the lower ground floor of Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs, is a small but stylish bar where delicious drinks are served in the elegant, dimly lit space. Pets are welcome, and there’s a great gym and a co-working space too.
