Cheval Blanc Paris will reopen Le Jardin, its seasonal rooftop terrace restaurant, on Friday 22 May 2026 for the summer season. Located on the seventh floor of the hotel overlooking the Seine, the 650-square-metre terrace has become one of Paris’ notable open-air dining destinations during the warmer months, offering a garden-style setting in the centre of the capital at a time when rooftop dining and outdoor hospitality continue to dominate the city’s summer scene.
Designed as a relaxed outdoor retreat above the city, Le Jardin combines landscaped greenery with Riviera-inspired décor, including red-and-white furnishings, yellow accents and pathways lined with geraniums, rose bushes and red hydrangeas, alongside aromatic herbs including thyme, basil and mint.
The terrace’s summer menu has been created by Chef William Béquin and focuses on seasonal produce and Mediterranean flavours. Dishes include a colourful tomato tart, grilled octopus with Galician vierge sauce and semi-confit tomatoes.
Desserts come from acclaimed Pastry Chef Maxime Frédéric, whose ice cream sundaes have become a signature of the terrace each summer. This year’s flavours include strawberry, chocolate and skyr, alongside raspberry and pistachio, inspired by traditional Italian gelato.
In keeping with the terrace’s holiday-inspired concept, each table is also set with a postcard for guests to write and send during lunch, dinner or sunset apéritifs.
The reopening also arrives as Paris dominates the travel conversation following confirmation that the next season of The White Lotus will film in the French capital. With the series continuing to shape global travel trends and drive demand for the destinations it features, attention is already turning to where visitors will stay, dine and socialise in the city this summer, positioning Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc Paris as one of the season’s most sought-after terrace destinations.
Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc Paris will be open Wednesday to Sunday from noon until 11pm, weather permitting.
