In keeping with Paris' penchant for stylish museum eateries, its 18th-century mint sports a super-stylish cafe–cocktail bar with a designer interior and one of the city's loveliest summertime terraces – in the Cour de la Méridienne, one of the Monnaie de Paris' elegant neoclassical courtyards. It's also a great restaurant, serving tasty dishes made with seasonal produce.
A healthy, veg-packed menu of savoury tarts, salads and tasting platters using ingredients sourced from local farmers packs out the place at lunchtime. Weekend brunch is equally hot; reserve in advance.
