Breakfast
Your morning coffee, three minutes from your hotel
Breakfast is served from 7am to 11.30am. The €10 set: a hot drink of your choice, fresh orange juice, fromage blanc, toast or a croissant. The €13.50 Big Breakfast adds a fried egg or an omelette, to see you through to lunch.
Guests from the hotels around the Étoile have been starting their day here for years. Belfast, Stella Étoile, Régence Étoile, Elsa, Tilsitt Étoile, Hôtel Arc de Triomphe: all under a five-minute walk away.
The house
A brasserie at the foot of the Étoile
A short walk from the Arc de Triomphe, L'Arc Café is the kind of address the neighbourhood keeps coming back to: a coffee at the bar in the morning, a quick lunch between meetings, a drink on the terrace at aperitif hour, an easy dinner in the evening.
Home-cooked brasserie food — French beef tartare, côte de bœuf to share, whole duck breast — and Pedone ice cream to finish.
“Three minutes from the Arc, but you eat like a local.”The L'Arc Café team
