Le Jardin d'Ampere

We were converted to this hotel as part of an extension by Viking River Cruises. The hotel lobby was open under repair, the bar closed or only limited hours. Pleasant garden and rooms were sufficient. Location was near the subway, but far from the... points of Paris. Restaurant closed for lunch or dinner

We only had our breakfast here, but they were very plentiful. The buffet offers a variety for every appetite.

Stayed at this hotel for a few days and only had breakfast there. Very nicely presented and plenty of food.

Just bear in mind that I might lead a sheltered life in comparison to you! We stayed at the hotel and could not be bothered to find another venue so we gave it a whirl. we worried about the cost but wow it was worth...it. Champagne to start and some nibbles which were interesting. The wife had the lobster bisque (I think), I had the lobster that she didn't want which was excellent, my scallops were marvellous. For mains I had monkfish with a crust of saffron, the wife had guinea fowl both were fabulous. Probably the only slight let down was the dessert (they are expensive) but that would be picky. The one downside is the atmosphere, there is little and the waiting staff are very professional We don't often eat at this standard of restaurant and thought them a bit superior. Like all the places we ate, the wine was great.

Upon arriving in Paris at 7AM, we were famished (and tired.) We immediately found the hotel restaurant which was charming and bright aside a lovely garden. The buffet was delicious...the coffee...mmmmmm...croissants, cheese, meats, fresh juice, etc. It was perfect.
