Le Georges.
The restaurant is located on the roof of one of the most unusual buildings of the French capital – the National Museum of Modern Art, also known as the Georges Pompidou Center.
The restaurant is decorated in a modern style: the decoration of the hall is made in bright colors, and the panoramic windows are decorated with unusual metal structures.
Museum visitors or local regulars take the elevator or escalator up to the heights to grab a snack or a substantial meal in comfortable chairs while taking in views of Place Beaubourg, the picturesque Marais district, the Isle of Cité and the Eiffel Tower.
The restaurant’s menu is quite compact, but it offers interesting dishes that combine the traditions of French and Asian cuisine.

Le Kong.
A trendy Parisian restaurant occupying the top two floors of the headquarters of the famous Japanese company Kenzo, which is located in the first arrondissement of Paris, next to the Pont Neuf bridge. The establishment strikes with ultra-modern decor designed by Philippe Starck. The famous designer managed to combine the incongruous: comfortable armchairs in Louis XV style coexist with a pebble carpet, a staircase with fluorescent lighting and plasma screens.
