About
Café des Ministères is a true love letter to traditional French cuisine. You come here to find dishes that are seen less and less on Parisian menus: terrines, stuffed cabbage, cassoulet, calf's head, or even a magnificent vol-au-vent. Generous, gourmet cooking with beautiful sauces and real attention paid to the produce. The kind of place that makes you want to put the great French classics back at the center of the table.
Recommended by the guide
If it is your first time, order the vol-au-vent—and bring someone who truly loves classic French cuisine. The menu changes, so keep an eye out for the traditional dishes offered at the time of your visit.
