Le Grand Colbert impresses its visitors with its elegant decor, spacious and comfortable banquettes, and a harmonious, flower-filled environment, complemented by impeccable service with no detail being overlooked.

Le Grand Colbert seamlessly blends sophistication and tradition, consistently exceeding expectations. Its menu, true to the spirit of classic brasseries, offers timeless dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes. It’s a must-visit destination.

Le Grand Colbert also serves as a tea salon.

The decor of Le Grand Colbert, dating back to the Belle Époque, has been meticulously preserved and exudes the optimism of that era. Founded in 1900, this restaurant is now classified as a “Monument Historique†. The interior, faithful to the period’s spirit, is characterized by its elegance and spaciousness. The carefully restored setting reflects Art Nouveau inspiration, with an abundance of sculpted pilasters and wood paintings, which are listed in the inventory of historic arts. The brasserie skillfully combines classic elements such as a mosaic floor, a spacious counter, and black leather banquettes to create a unique and historical ambiance.

Le Grand Colbert is featured in the film "Something’s Gotta Give" (2003), directed by Nancy Meyers, a romantic comedy starring Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, and Keanu Reeves.
