Opposite the Palais Bourbon, Café des Ministères is the true canteen of the deputies of the National Assembly, and a Parisian institution in its own right. This is its deep plate, in the house colors, the very one that carries the famously indulgent profiteroles among other delicacies.
A generous piece of tableware that brings a little of the dining room's pleasure home.
At Café des Ministères one can expect a combination of tradition and quality, with a modern mindset, newly helmed by husband and wife team Jean and Roxane Sévègnes. The culinary power-couple took over the esteemed institution in 2019, which has been met with overwhelming praise for the new life injected into the classic French menu by the Ducasse-trained chef. The unassuming menu is flourished with mouth-watering sauces and modern twists, whilst remaining seasonal. Café des Ministères has quickly become a must-visit institution in Paris, therefore booking in advance is a must!
