PAVILLON DE LA GRANDE CASCADE

What PAVILLON DE LA GRANDE CASCADE does

PAVILLON DE LA GRANDE CASCADE is a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant housed in a Napoleon III pavilion in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris (75016), operating daily for lunch and dinner service. The venue — originally a hunting rest stop for Napoleon III and converted into a restaurant for the 1900 Exposition Universelle — has held a continuous Michelin star since 1965 and carries the Maître Restaurateur title. The kitchen is led by Chef Frédéric Robert, whose classical training spans l'Ambroisie (Bernard Pacaud), Vivarois (Claude Peyrot), and Lucas Carton (Alain Senderens), supported by a pastry program built around Belgian pâtissier Nelson Lechien. Sourcing emphasizes close ties to producers, including wild game, seasonal mushrooms, and seafood from Noirmoutier, Île d'Yeu, and Les Sables d'Olonne.

The business generates revenue through three principal streams: à la carte dining, tiered tasting menus (Market €99, Garden €128, 5-course €195, 7-course €245), and private event hosting with five dedicated salons (Bagatelle up to 48 guests, Auteuil-Longchamp 30, Hortense 18, Eugénie 12, Petit Hortense 8) priced at €165–€285 per person. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via on-premises reservations; the restaurant does not use third-party delivery platforms. Marketing is handled through the parent group's website (restaurantsparisiens.com) and dedicated Facebook and Instagram channels.

La Grande Cascade is a wholly owned venue of FINAM SARL, a French SARL registered in Paris with €3,182,760 in capital, which operates the broader "Restaurants Parisiens" portfolio of six Parisian restaurants (La Grande Cascade, L'Auberge du Bonheur, Chez Georges, Le Ballon des Ternes, La Trattoria di Bellagio, and Chez Bertrand) spanning gastronomic, bistro, brasserie, Italian, and bouchon formats across the 16th and 17th arrondissements. The group is privately held with no venture, private equity, or public-market funding. There is no proprietary technology stack, app, API, or AI/ML capability; operations are conventional hospitality with centralized digital reservation and marketing infrastructure.
