Café des Ministères Paris

Café des Ministères sits at 83 Rue de l'Université. The space offers traditional French cooking, adhering to the conventions of classic, formal dining.

The restaurant is dressier than its neighbors on the Left Bank, and the room runs smart in a way that feels intentional. While the dining room offers a cozy, traditional interior, the outdoor terrace remains its primary draw during the warmer months. This is a venue for those who prefer the rigor of a formal French kitchen over the more relaxed, contemporary bistros that populate much of the seventh arrondissement. It avoids the casual drift of its peers, relying on consistent, classic execution to separate itself from the surrounding area.
