La Petite Chaise claims to be the oldest restaurant in Paris, “according to the record books,” dating back to 1680 when Georges Rameau began serving wine and light fare here. Now a historical landmark, this eatery offers a dining porch, and is part of a classic hotel.

Expect cuisine as traditional as the building, as the menu features lamb and rabbit entrees, a wonderful selection of cheese, and timeless sorbets in fresh new flavors.
