About
La Tour d'Argent is a legendary Parisian gastronomic institution founded in 1582, commanding views of the Seine and Notre-Dame from the 6th floor of Quai de la Tournelle. Three generations of the Terrail family have shaped this monument to French cuisine, renowned for its numbered Caneton Frédéric Delair since 1890. Under MOF chef Yannick Franques, the house perpetuates signature classics—foie gras, pike quenelles, sole meunière—while reinventing them with contemporary flair. The legendary cellar holds 300,000 bottles. Following a major 2023 renovation, the restaurant now features a ground-floor bar, a private apartment on the 5th floor, and a panoramic rooftop on the 7th. An exceptional gastronomic experience, Michelin-starred.
