What is the best restaurant for New Year’s Eve in Paris?

As December 2025 approaches, the Parisian capital lights up, and establishments compete to offer unforgettable evenings. Among the multitude of venues that make Paris the world capital of gastronomy, Le Diamant Bleu stands out as a truly unique experience for celebrating New Year’s Eve.

Summary

Le Diamant Bleu: a floating gastronomic experience in the heart of Paris

Le Diamant Bleu offers a unique concept: a dinner cruise in Paris that transforms your New Year’s Eve into a culinary journey on the Seine. It’s neither a casual bistro nor a classic Michelin-starred restaurant, but a floating house that invites you to rediscover Paris from its waters.

This exceptional boat offers refined French cuisine in an absolutely spectacular setting. Far from the brasseries of Rue de Rivoli or the cocktail bars of the 8th arrondissement, Le Diamant Bleu lets you experience New Year’s Eve dinner in motion, with a constantly changing view of the Eiffel Tower as you cruise along.

For the New Year’s Eve 2025 dinner cruisehe chef of the Diamant Bleu has created a menu showcasing exceptional products. The starter features peppered foie gras from the Southwest with a fig chutney, a creation that evokes the great classics of the Belle Époque while adding a contemporary touch.

The second course even offers seafood dishes such as seared scallops and perfectly cooked lobster, enhanced by a lobster sauce.

The main course is equally impressive with a meltingly tender shoulder of lamb served with sweet potato mousseline and cumin-roasted cauliflower. For meat lovers, Le Théo (the company’s other ship) offers a veal tenderloin with a truffled Agatha mille-feuille that would delight even the most discerning palates.

The selection of desserts, such as the “Carrément Poire Chocolat” (Absolutely Pear and Chocolate), provides a perfect ending to this feast, not forgetting the glass of champagne to toast the arrival of the new year.

Two options for all budgets and tastes

Le Diamant Bleu offers two New Year’s Eve seatings, catering to different budgets and preferences:

  • The first seating, at €250 per person, begins at 5:30 pm for a 2-hour cruise, ideal for those who wish to continue their evening elsewhere, perhaps in a Parisian hotel or a trendy café in the capital.
  • The second seating, at €499, begins at 9:15 pm and continues until 2:00 am with a dance party after returning to the dock. This is the perfect option to fully celebrate the arrival of the new year with friends in the heart of Paris.

These prices may seem high compared to an affordable restaurant like a Parisian bouillon, but they include much more than just a meal: a Seine River cruise, a full gourmet menu, drinks (including champagne), and live music.

What makes Le Diamant Bleu the top restaurant for New Year’s Eve in Paris is undoubtedly its panoramic view of Parisian landmarks.. Unlike Madame Brasserie, which offers a view of the Eiffel Tower from its terrace, here the entire city unfolds before your eyes.

Imagine yourself cruising on the Seine, admiring the Eiffel Tower sparkling with a thousand lights, the majestic Notre-Dame, the Tuileries Garden, and the most beautiful bridges of Paris, all while enjoying exceptional cuisine. No restaurant with a view, not even one perched atop a grand hotel, can offer such a constantly shifting perspective on the beauty of the French capital.

For those with more discerning tastes, the “Glass Window” option (an additional €25) guarantees a table by the windows, while the “Prestige” option (€30) ensures a prime location at the front of the boat.

A festive atmosphere worthy of New York

The ambiance aboard the Diamant Bleu rivals the best New York parties. A live singer accompanies your cruise, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and convivial. For the second seating a DJ takes over after the return to the dock for a dance party that will keep you dancing until the early hours of 2026.

The interior décor, with its contemporary lines and refined tableware, contributes to making this an exceptional evening. Online reviews from previous guests attest to the quality of the experience, with excellent ratings on major booking sites.

An Italian alternative with Le Théo

If you prefer Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, Le Diamant Bleu also offers an experience on their other boat, Le Théo. With more accessible prices (€199 for the first course and €350 for the second), this option also offers a gourmet menu inspired by Italian cuisine.
