Can anyone give me the names of some good restaurants in the 16th Arrondisement that are open on Sunday night?

Sorry, I don't know of any specific restaurants open on Sundays in the 16th, but you can try this well-regarded restaurant booking site for ideas.

Bonjour

Good luck

Whereabouts in the 16th?

Anyway, on the Place Victor Hugo, I'm pretty sure Convivium is open. Moderately priced, Italian, usually quite busy.
Stella, a little farther down the Ave. Victor Hugo, is open. A nice, small restaurant, a neighborhood classic. Probably the best choice if you want "old-style" French, moderately priced. For something more trendy, Tokyo Eat is open, pan-Asian fusion cooking in a very modern setting.

Down in the Auteuil/Mirabeau neighborhood, Zebra Square is open, but I don't recommend it. We had bad service and bad food and paid too much for both.

Le Flandrin is open and comes well recommended, but we haven't made it over there yet.

However, even restaurants that are normally open Sundays may be closed for parts of July and August...so it depends on which Sunday you plan to be there.

Note: Jack's Travel, at least the Paris restaurant part, hasn't been updated since 2002. His recs still seem good, but keep the dates in mind...I know things have changed at some of the Brussels restaurants he recommended in 2001.

Thanks to all for the suggestions! I know our hotel is within walking distance of Stella, so that will probably be our choice. The other links will be useful for the time when we aren't in the 16th.

Le Passeflore on rue de Longchamp is open and is good enough to have earned a Michelin star. Also the Pavillon Noura on Marceau is one of the top Lebanese restaurants in Paris.

For Stella, you reserve a table in advance. It's a popular spot and as there aren't that many restaurants in that neighborhood open Sunday night, it's usually busy.
After dinner, consider a walk down Ave. Raymond Poincare to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle. About a 10 minute walk from Stella at a relaxed pace.

Ooop, meant you *should* reserve a table in advance!

In 1958, my wife, while working for the Foreign Office, rented an apartment on Rue de Longchamp about 4 houses away from Victor Hugo towards the Bois. Each morning when she went to work, I would meet with one of her girlfriends and we would head to Stella for "deux croissant and deux cafe au lait". After the first two visits I only had to nod to the waiter.

Jean had been teaching at an airforce base in Germany and was spending a few months in Paris with another teacher, Laura, before they both returned to the US. I met my wife in NY when she worked at a UN session and I was in Paris to continue our courtship. Jean and Laura if you read this please get in touch. I digress.

Three or four years ago we decided to walk around the 16th to see what we remembered. Alas, the corner of Rue de Longchamp and Victor Hugo that housed a small cafe now is home to a very utiliterian looking bank. We couldn't find the shop where we bought some accessories for our home that we still use today. Stella sat empty, with ragged awnings and a forlorn look.

I'm glad that it has reopened. I wonder how many times it has changed hands in 48 years.
