Bustronome Paris

In Paris, there are a lot of monuments and sites to visit such as: the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees, Concorde Square, and so much more. Not only does Paris have great tourist attractions, but it's also a city unique for its atmosphere and ambiance that attracts lots of visitors. For a fun and different way to tour Paris, we recommend a city tour bus in which you can have a delicious meal while enjoying a panoramic view of this gorgeous city. Bustronome is a classy and luxurious bus restaurant in Paris that starts its tour at the Arc de Triomphe. After settling down and getting comfortable, let Bustronome lead you on a wonderful special sightseeing tour through Paris.

Dining with a marvelous panoramic view of Paris

As you can board Bustronome only with a reservation, don't forget to reserve your spot in advance. Also, be aware that bus reservations may be fully booked faster for public holidays or special days like Valentine's Day. When you get on the bus, you can check in and leave your coats on the first floor. Then, a marvelous panoramic view is waiting for you on the second floor. All sides of the bus, including the ceiling, are made of transparent glass so you can have a clear view of the city from wherever you are on the bus. 

Bustronome offers lunch and dinner service. You can enjoy a 4-course meal for lunch and a 6-course meal in the evening. You can also have a wine pairing with an extra charge. The menu changes every season depending on the seasonal food. Click here to check their website and review the menu in advance. A vegetarian menu is also available. Additionally, if you want a gluten-free dish or if you have a particular allergy to certain ingredients, the chef will consider your concerns. 

Also, depending on your choice of whether you're there for lunch or dinner, there is a slight difference in the bus route. Commonly, the journey starts from Arc de Triomphe and passes through Trocadero Square, Eiffel Tower, Champs de Mars, Invalides, Alexander III Bridge, Grand Palais, Concorde Square, Madeleine Cathedral, Garnier Opera, Louvre Museum, Orsay Museum, Paris National Assembly, and returns to the starting point. During the evening route, Pont des Arts, Saint Michel, Conciergerie, Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, and Paris City Hall are added between Louvre Museum and Orsay Museum.

With Bustronome, you can enjoy the guided tour while sitting comfortably, and without being disrupted by the weather. There is a QR code right next to the table. Once you scan it with your smartphone, you will find a meal menu, a journey map, and a series of audio guides of each attraction to learn its history while enjoying the view. 

Harmonious contemporary French cuisine during a bus tour

Look at this magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower! You can take memorable photos with your family or friends while sharing a great meal prepared on the ground floor of the bus. Sébastien Nicolleau, Bustronome's chef since its launch in 2014, creates harmonious and contemporary French cuisine perfectly cooked on wheels thanks to his skills. Although it is a meal on the bus, the quality of the food is the best, just like dining in a restaurant.

Salmon Gravlax, goats cheese mousse, and asparagus pickles

It is a healthy and delicious appetizer made with salmon and asparagus pickles. Fresh salmon goes perfectly well with creamy goat cheese mousse mixed with refreshing herbs. Sweet and gently sour pickles add an extra freshness and crunchy texture.

Green herb crusted Cod, petit pois purée and saffran crisp

After the appetizer, the first meal will be served. If you have two main dishes in France, they usually come in the order of fish first, then meat. The cod fried with green herb batter is very soft and juicy. The meal comes with creamy flavorful green pea purée. If you have ordered a wine pairing menu, a glass of white wine will be served as a perfect match for a fish dish.

Beef fillet, seasonal vegetables

The meat dish of the day was beef fillet. The meat was perfectly cooked and very soft. Its peppery sauce made with the meat's juice brings out the rich flavor of the meat even more. The addition of fresh seasonal vegetables completes the dish. Especially, the sweet and lightly spiced vegetable purée makes a great combination with Beef fillet. It is best to drink red wine with a meat dish. 

Iced Nougat, red fruits

For dessert, an iced Nougat with red fruits is prepared, with red berry sauce added to the sides of the dessert. Iced Nougat looks like ice cream, but firmer and creamier than ice cream. It is an excellent dessert under the gentle sunshine from the glass ceiling, perfect after a full meal. 

O'bon Paris' tip

While on the bus, you might be worried about the drinks spilling on the table or the plates falling down when the bus makes a turn or stops suddenly; but you don't have to worry at all. As soon as you board the bus, you can easily see the small details that prevent any accident. The table mats are made of a special material that is soft but grips the plates so that they don't slide. In addition, special equipment is provided so that the glasses don't spill. These additions help you concentrate on the tour and meals with your friends, kids, or families.
