Overview

Sat on the corner of the historical Théâtre du Châtelet, Au Vieux Châtelet brasserie is everything you want in a traditional French brasserie: think cosy wood interiors, ornate trimmings and classic home cooking done right.

Opt for the nation’s favourite croque monsieur - a toasted sandwich with molten gruyère cheese, smoked ham and Dijon mustard, topped with a buttery béchamel sauce. This mainstay has been on the menu for decades and for good reason; whether you’re in the mood for a lazy brunch or late afternoon pick-me-up, this is an absolute classic.

Alternatively, for a bit of extra indulgence, go for a croque madame (very similar, but with a fried egg to crown the dish). Pair that with a cassis-flavored kir royale Champagne cocktail, and you’re all set!

During summer months, the brasserie terrace is the perfect spot to bask in a bit of Parisian sunshine.


What's included

  • Take in gorgeous views across the Seine from this perfectly positioned riverside hangout.

  • You will receive a complimentary croque monsieur sandwich, homemade French fries, and glass of Fizz with your pass.

Delicious food and great view

Monika ·

It was strange to just go there and say that I have a Paris Pass and receive food, but everyone was friendly and polite. The food was very tasty and the portion was quite big, I could not finish. I was in Paris in the beginning of October and the weather was still warm and sunny, so I was seated outside where the view was great with a typical Parisian atmosphere.

Yes, I recommend this attraction

Good food

Wolf ·

The food was very tasty and very good portions. The manager was very friendly, but our waiter made it very clear that we were an inconvenience, which was a shame. Other than that, we would recommend this establishment.
