LE JARDIN DE CHEVAL BLANC PARIS REOPENED THIS FRIDAY FOR SUMMER | News
Cheval Blanc Paris will reopen Le Jardin, its seasonal rooftop restaurant, on Friday, May 22, 2026 for the summer season. Located on the hotel’s seventh floor overlooking the Seine, the 650-square-metre terrace has become one of Paris’s notable open-air dining options during the warmer months. It offers a garden-like setting in the center of the capital, at a time when rooftop dining and alfresco hospitality continue to dominate the city’s summer scene.
Designed as a relaxing country 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 such as thyme, basil and mint.
The summer menu on the terrace has been created by chef William Béquin and focuses on seasonal products and Mediterranean flavors. Dishes include a colorful tomato tart, grilled octopus with Galician virgin sauce and semi-candied tomatoes.
The desserts come from acclaimed chef Maxime Frédéric, whose ice cream sundaes have become a feature of the terrace every summer. This year’s flavors include strawberry, chocolate and skyr, in addition to 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 aperitif.
The reopening also comes as Paris dominates the travel conversation following confirmation that the next season of The White Lotus will be filmed in the French capital. As the series continues to shape global travel trends and drive demand for the destinations it features, attention is already turning to where visitors will stay, dine and socialize in the city this summer, making Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc Paris one of the most sought-after terrace destinations of the season.
Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc Paris is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12 noon to 11 p.m., weather permitting.
