Le Dernier Couvert monitors cancellations continuously, directly inside the restaurant's reservation system.
To book at Arpège, use the Zenchef widget on the official website (alain-passard.com). There is no fixed booking window: slots weeks or months ahead are open immediately, for both lunch and dinner, Monday to Friday. Our data consistently shows availability 2–3 weeks out, especially at lunch; near-term dates and dinner services fill first.
Alain Passard's table on rue de Varenne has held three Michelin stars since 1996, drawing an international clientele for whom Arpège is a pilgrimage. If your chosen date is full, cancellations do occur: the dining room seats around 45 and international guests change plans. Le Dernier Couvert monitors availability directly in the reservation system to alert you the moment a slot opens.
Tips to get a table
- Book ahead: the horizon is open, so locking your date several weeks in advance is the safest strategy for a three-Michelin-star restaurant.
- Lunch is the best entry point: more availability and a noticeably more accessible menu compared to dinner.
- The restaurant is closed on weekends. Aim for Tuesday to Thursday: Mondays and Fridays are the most in-demand days.
- For a fully-booked date, set up a Le Dernier Couvert alert: last-minute cancellations do happen, including for tables of two.
- The restaurant also takes calls (+33 1 47 05 09 06) for special requests: large groups, dietary requirements, special occasions.
