Following the success of the 2024 edition hosted at the Palais de Tokyo for the Olympics, Air France relaunches with an equally iconic and even more scenic location: the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette, at 40 Boulevard Haussmann.
The layout recalls the elegance of Air France lounge interiors: navy blue, bright white and touches of red to recreate an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, with only 20 covers per service and a patio with loungers to enjoy the Parisian skyline from the Eiffel Tower to Montmartre.
Business Class menu served ashore
To welcome guests, a dining experience worthy of the finest first-class cabins: appetizer, entrée, main course, cheese selection, and dessert, all served with the same mise en place designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Air France Business trays.
Chef Marcon's culinary offerings include:
- Camargue tricolor rice with lemon, carrot and orange sauce
- Chicken with morel mushroom sauce, rice pilaf and green asparagus
And vegetarian dishes inspired by the nature of Auvergne, the chef's homeland
For the sweet ending, Nina Métayer proposes:
- Crunchy hazelnut and caramel delight
- Crispy tatin revisited, light but intense in flavors
All accompanied by a selection of wines and champagnes curated by Xavier Thuizat, best sommelier of France 2022 and head sommelier at Hôtel de Crillon. Selected soft drinks are also available.
How to book
The restaurant will be open everyday (except Tuesdays) from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. Reservations are required and the full lunch, including drinks, is offered at 93 euros per person. Shortly
A collectible experience (miles)
It is not just a lunch with a view, but a true immersion in the "à la française" philosophy that Air France brings aboard its aircraft: attention to detail, haute cuisine, design, and impeccable service.
An unmissable opportunity for frequent flyers, lovers of star-studded cuisine, and anyone who wants a piece of the Business Air France experience...without taking off.
