To book at Le Chateaubriand, use TheFork (linked from lechateaubriand.net) approximately 14 days in advance, or call 01 43 57 45 95. No official window is published, but our data confirms this lead time. Act as soon as slots appear: Friday and Saturday dinners are gone within hours.

Since 2006, Le Chateaubriand has defined Parisian avant-garde bistronomie: a single tasting menu with no choice, renewed each evening according to what arrives in the kitchen, natural wines, around 40 covers. The restaurant ranked as high as 9th in the World's 50 Best (2011). In November 2025, Iñaki Aizpitarte announced a definitive closure before end of 2026 — the restaurant is in its final season, with Leonardo Righini now leading the kitchen. Cancellations on TheFork reappear instantly. For those willing to wait, the second walk-in sitting at around 9:30 pm is a real option for small tables.

Tips to get a table

  1. Check TheFork approximately 14 days before your target date. Wednesday and Thursday evenings are the least contested — start there if your schedule is flexible.
  2. The only lunch service is Saturday (noon–2:00 pm) at €65, versus €95 for dinner — same creative cooking, a quieter pace. Saturday lunch spots often remain available into the week before, when dinners are already full.
  3. For the walk-in second sitting, arrive in line outside from 9:00 pm. Tables of 2 have by far the best chances; a table of 4 or more is highly uncertain.
  4. Verify the opening status before booking: the restaurant announced a definitive closure before end of 2026 without giving an exact date. Check the official website or recent TheFork reviews to confirm it is still operating.
  5. Le Dauphin (131 avenue Parmentier, two doors down) takes no reservations and serves inventive tapas until midnight — the natural fallback if Le Chateaubriand is full.
