Food Scene
The temple of the waffles is just 10 seconds away from the apartment. As the name suggests, you will eat excellent waffles made of premium products (and it’s all gluten and lactose free). It simply looks AND tastes amazing. The owners are also very friendly people, down to earth. I totally recommend the place!

Southern French cuisine. The place used to be a library, they kept the cosy atmosphere in there. With a small but good selection of wines. Stephane the owner is also a typical nice French guy.

A typical French "brasserie". One of the oldest restaurants in Paris, short menu, all dishes from Normandy. Great wine list. If you want to feel like a VIP you can book a private room for you and friends for an extra €10 per person

Skybar at Montparnasse Tower
Visiting the tower costs €19. For that you get to go on the rooftop which is often windy. Instead, book a time to go to the Skybar, one level under. A glass of champagne is €23 and for that you get a great service, in a smart place and can enjoy your drink whilst watching the Eiffel Tower in front of you!
