About La Tour d’Argent
Since 1582, La Tour d’Argent has stood as a timeless symbol of French gastronomy. The oldest restaurant in Paris, it commands a prime position on the banks of the River Seine with breath-taking views across the capital’s skyline.
Run by the Terrail family for three generations, under the guidance of owner André Terrail and executive chef and former Meilleur Ouvrier de France Yannick Franques, it entices discerning diners with iconic dishes such as pike quenelles, the legendary Frédéric Delair duckling, and Mademoiselle crêpes.
In August 2023, following an historic 15-month renovation, this legendary establishment on the Quai de la Tournelle reopened its doors, ushering in an exciting new era for La Tour d’Argent. With three new areas, including the Bar des Maillets d’Argent, Augusta’s Apartment and Le Toit, this prestigious restaurant successfully blends tradition and modernity to create unparalleled epicurean experiences.
