vin blanc brunch

As the holiday season approaches, Paris is adorned with its most beautiful illuminations, offering a magical setting to celebrate Christmas. In the heart of this sparkling capital, one address stands out for an exceptional Christmas Eve: Le Diamant Bleu, a restaurant-cruise that promises a unique culinary and festive experience on the Seine.

Summary

A Magical Address in the Heart of Paris

Located on the banks of the Seine, Le Diamant Bleu is not a traditional Parisian restaurant but a panoramic restaurant boat offering breathtaking views of the most beautiful Parisian monuments illuminated during the Christmas season. Unlike establishments such as Madame Brasserie on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower or Café de l’Homme facing the tower, Le Diamant Bleu offers a moving and magical perspective of the city, where iconic monuments glide past your eyes during your dinner.

This restaurant combines the excellence of French cuisine with an exceptional setting, offering an elegant alternative to the classic Parisian brasseries of the Champs-Élysées or the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The art of hospitality is celebrated here in the grand tradition of exceptional Parisian establishments.

A refined Christmas menu worthy of the finest gastronomic restaurants

For its Christmas dinner cruiseLe Diamant Bleu offers an exceptional menu that rivals the creations of renowned chefs such as Thierry Marx at Cheval Blanc or the Michelin-starred restaurants of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. For the evenings of December 24th and 25th, the chef has designed a special Christmas menu showcasing exceptional ingredients.

Delicate and refined starters

The menu opens with an aperitif featuring three cocktail bites (except for the first seating on December 24th), followed by a starter of whole foie gras with pepper from the Southwest, accompanied by fig chutney, a mesclun salad with walnut kernels, a walnut oil vinaigrette, and homemade sesame challah.

This sophisticated starter prepares your palate for the culinary experience to come, while the delicate amuse-bouches add a further touch of elegance to this festive meal.

A generous and flavorful main course

For the main course, the chef offers a capon stuffed with Armagnac, served with sweet potato purée. This traditional holiday poultry is prepared with care to offer a memorable tasting experience, reminiscent of French culinary traditions where Christmas dinner is synonymous with abundance and sharing.
