The Diamant Bleu: the unmissable brunch cruise on the Seine

At the top of our list is Le Diamant Bleu , a unique spot offering an all-you-can-eat brunch in Paris on a barge cruising the Seine. This exceptional venue hosts an all-you-can-eat buffet every Sunday, prepared by talented chefs who cook live right before your eyes.

The experience begins with a plate of pastries accompanied by a hot drink (tea, coffee, hot chocolate) and freshly squeezed juice. The crispy croissant, soft brioche, and fresh bread with butter and jam make for a comforting breakfast before moving on to more substantial dishes.

The buffet offers several culinary workshops where you can sample:

  • A mixed rotisserie with chicken, lamb and beef of the day, accompanied by new potatoes
  • A fish workshop featuring fresh marinated salmon and the fish of the day
  • Homemade pasta prepared in its millstone
  • A cheese buffet including camembert, brie, goat cheese and other delicacies
  • A fresh salad and tabbouleh for vegetable lovers

To finish on a high note, the dessert buffet offers crepes, chocolate mousse, seasonal tarts and a fruit salad with orange blossom.

What makes the Diamant Bleu experience particularly memorable is the opportunity to savor all these dishes while admiring the Eiffel Tower and the most beautiful Parisian monuments from the Seine. A culinary and sightseeing getaway that will delight both locals and visitors.
