Brasserie La Lorraine, Restaurant in the 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
Brasserie La Lorraine is a seafood restaurant in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, near the Place des Ternes. It occupies a bright corner building with a large south-facing terrace and an Art Deco-inspired interior recently redesigned by decorator Laura Gonzalez.
La Lorraine has been operating near the Place des Ternes for several decades, starting as a neighborhood gathering spot before growing into a well-known Parisian address. Over time it attracted a mix of regulars, workers, and visitors drawn by its consistent food and convenient location.
La Lorraine takes its name from the Lorraine region in eastern France, long associated with a strong culinary tradition. The restaurant's rotunda is a recognizable gathering point inside, often used for private events and celebrations.
The restaurant is open every day with continuous service, so there is no need to time your visit around a fixed lunch or dinner window. Reservations are recommended on weekends or holidays, as the terrace fills up quickly in good weather.
The restaurant's oyster shucker, Rabah Guechoud, has been named the best in France three times and works here daily. Sitting at the counter gives visitors a direct view of his work, which is itself worth a visit.
