L'Esprit Nouveau, Restaurant in Paris's 16th
A fine, flavor-filled table in Paris's 16th arrondissement, ideally located right by the Trocadéro, L'Esprit Nouveau offers a warm, original setting for lunches, after-work drinks, and dinners.
Open from 7am, it's also a top choice for business breakfasts and other business meals.
Inventive, flavor-forward French cuisine
Lively and creative, the menu expresses the vision of chef Rémy Ribeaucourt. Surprising and innovative, it showcases carefully worked ingredients and thoughtfully composed plates—seasonal flavors, precise cooking. Ultra-indulgent recipes such as a Caesar salad where the chicken breast is reinvented in a crispy coating, a croque-monsieur that happily pairs goat cheese and honey, or a hanger steak subtly enhanced with a port wine sauce.
Several times a week, the Chef's Menu unveils a new tasting experience inspired by the moment.
The Canopy Paris Eiffel Tower has built strong partnerships with the best local suppliers: ice cream comes from Hugues Pouget, bread and pastries from Lalos, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and coffee from artisan roaster Lomi.

For festive occasions
L'Esprit Nouveau knows how to mark special occasions, with dedicated menus for New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, and more… Its cocktail list sets the tone before dinner with mixology classics and the house's signature cocktails.
A place inspired by art and architecture
L'Esprit Nouveau owes its name to a dual source of architectural and creative inspiration: it takes its title from a magazine founded by Le Corbusier in the 1920s. A single thread runs through these different expressions: a desire for renewal across every artistic discipline—literature, painting, architecture—paired with a bold, often boundary-pushing vision for the future.
This choice of name for the Canopy Paris Eiffel Tower's restaurant reflects the importance placed on aesthetics, expressed in particular through regularly hosted artist exhibitions: painters, sculptors, photographers, visual artists, and more. It has also inspired a resolutely original layout and décor: the dining room unfolds beneath the overhead light of a vast glass roof, structured by the verticality of the original columns.
This former industrial space is warmed by the terracotta tones so dear to Le Corbusier, the velvet of the seats and curtains and carefully designed lighting. The open kitchen at the center of the restaurant brings mealtimes to life with the choreography of the brigade at work.
