Some views take your breath away. The one from Café de l'Homme, from its Palais de Chaillot terrace, is one of them. Before you, the Eiffel Tower stands in all its majesty — perfectly framed, unobstructed, just a few hundred metres away. Located at 17, Place du Trocadéro, in the wing that houses the Musée de l'Homme, this establishment has been for decades one of the unmissable addresses of the 16th arrondissement.
The interior dining room, spanning 550 m², opens onto the Trocadéro gardens through floor-to-ceiling windows. In winter, the covered winter garden extends the experience with its own cocktail bar — French Mule, Grand Fizz, Bloody Mary, Espresso Martini — in a warm, luminous atmosphere. In summer, the open terrace facing the Eiffel Tower becomes one of the capital's finest open-air addresses.
Chef Wilfried Graux's cuisine matches the setting: contemporary French gastronomy that champions local produce and incorporates influences from five continents with creativity and precision. The menu changes with the seasons, favouring short supply chains and committed producers. The dinner menu offers excellent value for an address as emblematic as this.
The Café de l'Homme is also a highly sought-after private event venue — corporate dinners, product launches, wedding receptions — with the illuminated Eiffel Tower as a dramatic backdrop after nightfall. For Maison Boissière residents, it is accessible on foot in ten minutes via Avenue Kléber, perfect for a romantic dinner or an end-of-day cocktail.
