Rated as one the most Instagrammable rooftop bars in the world by the social media platform, Le Georges restaurant is the perfect place in Paris to combine fine dining with amazing views of the City of Light.

Located on the 6th floor of the Georges Pompidou Center – the last floor of the museum – in the heart of Paris near Les Halles, the venue’s minimalist but avant-garde design reflects the unique architectural character of the museum below and enhances, rather than distracts from, the breathtaking panoramic views of the French capital, not least when the city comes ablaze at night.

When the weather suits, the restaurant’s outdoor terrace is the place to be.

The menu features inventive world cooking and fresh takes on French classics, while The Pink Bar, a vodka bar tucked away in an alcove, has a highly unusual list of cocktails.

Patrons need not have visited the Pompidou, which is home to the National Museum of Modern Art and is internationally renowned for its 20th and 21st century art collections, not to mention being considered a 20th-century architectural marvel, recognizable by its exterior escalators and enormous coloured tubing.

Le Georges is open Wednesday to Sunday noon to 2 a.m. and closed on Monday and Tuesday.
