Tucked behind a discreet façade within the Fondation Pernod Ricard, Café Mirette offers a suspended moment of calm just a stone’s throw from the bustle of Gare Saint-Lazare. A rare find in Paris, it’s bright, soothing, and inspiring — part café, part restaurant, part cultural space, and part urban cocoon.

An Elegant, Serene Setting

The décor embodies chic minimalism: white walls, streamlined furniture, and large bay windows flooding the room with natural light. A wooden terrace extends the experience on sunny days, sheltered from both noise and prying eyes. This is where you come to unplug, leaf through an art book, or simply linger over a well-crafted plate.

Delicate, Refined Bistronomy

On the menu, every plate reveals precision, balance, and elegance. Carefully sourced seasonal ingredients take center stage, offered through:

• A lunch menu around €23
• A generous Saturday brunch at €28
• A refined evening dinner service

Among the standout dishes:

• Subtly briny pollock rillettes
• Veal tartare with fresh herbs
• Skate terrine with black olives, light and delicate

Each dish is a balanced surprise, crafted without ostentation. The Saturday brunch, featuring pastries, hot dishes, fresh juices, and homemade sweets, reflects the understated generosity of the address.

A Cultural Haven in Motion

Beyond the food, Café Mirette offers a unique cultural atmosphere: surrounded by contemporary art exhibits, specialized books, and soft-spoken conversations. The venue also hosts private events, evening gatherings, and Thursday night sessions with a more festive vibe. It’s a chameleon space where you can work, relax, or celebrate, yet it always feels cohesive and intentional.
