La Fontaine Gaillon is back in all its splendor! Come and rediscover our iconic address, where history blends with refined French cuisine and the magic of one of the most beautiful terraces in Paris.

Once owned by Gérard Depardieu, we're reopening the doors of this Parisian institution after renovation (by interior designer Lázaro Rosa Violán), under the aegis of the Fitz Group.
Fitz Group has chosen the talent and personality of young chef Marie-Victorine Manoa. At the age of 30, Marie-Victorine Manoa has worked at the most demanding pianos, from René Redzepi's Noma in Copenhagen to Daniel Humm's Eleven Madison Park in New York, and Alex Atala's D.O.M in Sao Paulo.

In an intimate, hushed atmosphere, you can experience refined cuisine, based on the pleasure of sharing a convivial moment.

Très bon choix. La nourriture excellente. Le service très bon. Malheureusement la table était dans un coin où certains serveurs me cognaient sans faire exprès mais après quelques fois, cela devenait ennuyeux. Ils se sont excusés mais bon, je pense que cette table devrait être repensée …

The food and service was impeccable. To start, we had the herring and escargot, both of which were incredible. The herring was not what I expected, but it proved all doubt wrong as it was delectable. The escargot was more tender than what I’ve had before. For our mains, my friend, probably had the most tender and delicious feel that was crispy on the outside. I had a superb beef tartare which exceeded my expectations. My waiter Antoine was knowledgeable and lively and gave excellent wine suggestions.

We had reservations for 10:30am - arrived at the restaurant and it was closed! The restaurant didn’t even open until 12! We shouldn’t have been able to make a reservation. We were very disappointed
