Restaurant near Marmottan-Paris

I haven't tried these, but have this information on restaurants near the La Muette metro stop (closest stop to the
Marmottan)

La Rotonde de la Muette, 12 Chaussee de la Muette, they have outdoor seating.

Pastry shop--Yamakazi, 6 Chaussee de la Muette. Great hot chocolate, open Sundays. On the same street is La Gare, an old train station converted to a café.

Restaurant des Chauffeurs, 8 Chaussee de la Muette, one review said “..one of the capital’s last outposts of home cooking…trucker-sized portions of French comfort food….” Open daily, continous service 5:30 am to 10pm, lunch reservations advised. Credit cards.

The immediate area around La Muette has always struck me as a little chaotic and it feels like the most touristy part of the 16th. If you want a fine meal, then I have no idea. But if you would like a pleasant, inexpensive lunch, then I suggest you walk down the Avenue Mozart from La Muette metro stop to the next stop (Jasmin). There are several cafes/brasseries there serving good food at good prices. Our favorite was always the Royal Mozart (the cafe dog's name is Snoopy). You could get a nice lunch there for about $15.

In the 17th but not far from Marmottan, I believe:

Le Sud-Ouest Monceau (Soouthwest French, 8 rue Meissonier, 01.47.63.15.07) Metro Wagram, closed Sunday and Monday) The best cassoulet you could ever wish for. Decorated very cutely. Get the cassoulet special with the large beans. When I took my sisters to Paris, they wanted to eat here twice! My guidebook describes it as authentic French restaurant, one that you'll be writing home about, remembering for a lifetime. So true. You enter through a boutique of Produits du terroir. Very homey but warning the food is heavy. We split a cassoulet which seemed to be fine with the owners who were especially nice. This was the first restaurant I took them to and they were so impressed with the friendly and helpful owner and waiters because my sisters were expecting the rude French waiter and didn't find him.

Well, sorry about the poor grammer in the foregoing post - for some reason my computer mouse is stuck and and as I rolled over "post my reply" my computer posted my reply before I could edit it. The phone number is correct.

In case you're in the mood for something other than traditional French fare, we found a fantastic Lebanese place near the La Muette stop. It's called "Le Bois de Vent, Fourchette d'Or de la Gastronomie Libanaise" (that's what the business card says). DH and I love Lebanese food, and this was probably the best we've ever had. They had a special dinner for two, where they brought out 4 cold dishes, then 4 hot ones for 42 Euros. It was more food than we could handle and everything was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so welcoming! We were treated like kings.

The Royal Mozart is very nice. You could also consider one of the restaurants in the Bois de Boulogne.

Wow. You guys are great! Thanks for all the good choices.

Hey Elaine,

I work in the area and have eaten lunch at all restos metioned.

On chaussee de la muette:
La Rotonde is expensive and not worth it (best seats taken by with BCBG teenagers on cell phones).

La Gare, old converted train station. Very good food; mod-high prices; service can be slow; excellent food and the terrace is nice weather is great.

Yamakazi is ok but the Bakery next door has better value for money and the food is better (Just walk past the pastry counter, pass the cash register and wait to be seated. Lunches only for both.

Le Park has a wide selection and has good food. Moderate prices.

the tabac on the street is also good; excellent moules + frites and reasonable. If you don't like smoke though don't go here.

Restaurant des Chauffeurs has closed.

Rue passy:
Frank et Fils: surprisingly the tea room on one of the upper floors has good food at moderate prices.

rue Mozart:
just down the street from the metro la muette:
le mozart:
The best bet for a nice lunch; very busy at lunch time and cramped but the food is excellent. Moderate prices. My all around favorite.

If you walk 2 more blocks, and don't want French food: Le Bois de Vent is very good as is the Greek restaurant across the street.

PS wagram is not close =)

Bon Ap!

thanks moxie, I'll update my file

Just a reminder that Le Mozart and Royal Mozart are two different spots (I think they are across the street from each other). I prefer the Royal Mozart BUT the last time I was there (earlier this year), they had closed off the nice ladies room (keeping it for staff only) and directed all customers to the old men's room, which is one of those Turkish style lavs. Ugh. However, since I had been a regular customer at one time, they gave me the key to the staff room. If you ask nicely, they might do the same for you.

Glad if it helps; I may see you there!

Just for completeness; Dinner is also served at:
la gare, la rotonde, le tabac, le parc, le mozart and the greek and lebanese.
Between French bakery and the tabac there is an Italian-type restaurant which is moderate to high but the food is very good (fresh veggie pizza was great) and the purple velvet chairs are comfy.

Yamakazi is our favorite pastry shop in Paris! Be sure to stop in for something sweet and delicious.

Yamakazi is ok but I am really surprised that it is anyone's favourite. But then again I am slightly prejudged against chains (Yamakazi, Paul etc) and will always go to the non-chain first (if quality is equal).

It has a special odor in the bakery which, to me, smells of rancid butter...
