Le Ballon des Ternes

This elegant, turn-of-the-century brasserie in the 17th district has a light-hearted, festive Maxim's feel to it. Its decor features small lamps, red couches, a glass-covered ceiling and furniture from the region of Champagne, France. The setting is just right for diving into superb seafood and shellfish. Le Ballon des Ternes restaurant pays tribute to the glory of the French brasserie on a daily basis - and as an added attraction, it is open until 4pm, for lunch.
