Bus Toqué: a good restaurant with a breathtaking view of Paris

Le Bus Toqué offers you the opportunity to discover the most beautiful corners of Paris, while being comfortably seated in an ultra-design bus. Whether it's for lunch, a romantic aperitif or dinner, Le Bus Toqué promises you a delicious plate and a table with a view!

Le Bus Toqué is more than just a sightseeing bus that lets you discover the most beautiful sights in Paris! This new concept, the brainchild of two Toqués with a passion for cuisine, Stéphane and Vincent, invites you to enjoy a delicious gourmet meal in the upper part of the bus, which has been transformed into a veritable restaurant.

Greeted as you enter the bus by the staff, who invite you to "get rid" of your coat and other bulky belongings and put them in the checkroom at the front of the bus, you then head for the top floor! A change of scenery! To everyone's surprise, you're transported in an instant to a magnificent glass-roofed restaurant, a brightly lit space with a sumptuous table setting.

Take a seat on one of the 38 pink-backed benches! Most are tables of 2, for romantic couples or a pleasant business lunch, for example, but the two ends of the bus offer tables for up to 8 people. Everyone settled in? The journey can begin!

Let's take a tour of Paris, discovering the capital's most fashionable streets and monuments! On each table, you'll find a tablet with a unique application designed especially for our "toqués". As you travel, the application geolocates the bus and automatically launches videos giving tourist explanations of the places visited. The app is available in 6 languages: French, English, Italian, Spanish, German and Japanese.

On the plate, the Bus Toqué offers a "Parisian" menu of canaille recipes, evolving and prepared with respect for the seasons by Cirette Traiteur. The menu changes every two months to reflect the seasonal nature of the products used.

For this first period, here's what you'll find on your plate:

Mise en bouche:
Duck foie gras from Rougié SARLAT, parsley breadcrumbs

Marinated salmon, ginger essence, dill cream and parmesan potato chips
