Le Fumoir

Facing the Louvre’s eastern colonnade, Le Fumoir offers more than a convenient table after the museum. Its address at 6 rue de l’Amiral-Coligny brings together a restaurant, bar and tea room with a library. You can move from a seasonal lunch to coffee among books and newspapers, or return later for a drink. The venue names Henrik Andersson as its chef and describes a weekly-changing menu, including a fish and a vegetarian choice on weekdays. That range sets it apart from a stop designed only for visitors in a hurry.

Sunday brunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. Restaurant tables can be booked online, while the bar does not take reservations. On October 1, 2026, Tripadvisor showed 4.1 out of 5 from 1,530 reviews. Guests often praised the setting and food, but their service experiences differed: one recent account described disorganized attention during a busy visit, while another praised brunch and the staff. The average covers different visits, so recent reviews are useful when choosing a time.

Le Fumoir particularly suits travelers who want to linger near the Louvre over a meal rather than leave the neighborhood. The tea room offers a shorter stop; for brunch, check the current Sunday menu and price before booking. Its position opposite the museum makes it easy to find and can also bring crowds at peak times.
