Overview

Sat on the corner of the historical Théâtre du Châtelet, Au Vieux Châtelet brasserie is everything you want in a traditional French brasserie: think cosy wood interiors, ornate trimmings and classic home cooking done right.

Opt for the nation’s favourite croque monsieur - a toasted sandwich with molten gruyère cheese, smoked ham and Dijon mustard, topped with a buttery béchamel sauce. This mainstay has been on the menu for decades and for good reason; whether you’re in the mood for a lazy brunch or late afternoon pick-me-up, this is an absolute classic.

Alternatively, for a bit of extra indulgence, go for a croque madame (very similar, but with a fried egg to crown the dish). Pair that with a cassis-flavored kir royale Champagne cocktail, and you’re all set!

During summer months, the brasserie terrace is the perfect spot to bask in a bit of Parisian sunshine.

The pace worked well with kids. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs. (Short walk from our hotel made it simple.)

Great value versus buying tickets separately. We learned more than expected in a short visit, nothing felt confusing at the entrance.
