Opposite the Palais Bourbon, Café des Ministères is the true canteen of the deputies of the National Assembly. This flat plate, in the house colors, is the one that carries Chef Jean Sévègnes's renowned vol-au-vent with sweetbreads, poultry and truffled jus, among many traditional dishes crafted with care.
A fine piece of tableware to bring that careful cooking 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!
