The Costes Experience+

Costes is one of the defining fashion-crowd addresses in Paris — part hotel mythology, part terrace institution, part scene. The restaurant, bar, and terrace all feed into the same unmistakable atmosphere.

Le Restaurant & La Terrasse+

The courtyard terrace is the signature image, but the full experience includes richly atmospheric interiors, low lighting, polished service, and an all-day-to-late-night flow that feels uniquely Costes.

Bar Costes+

The bar carries the same Saint-Honoré glamour: intimate, discreet, and known as a place where pre-dinner, post-dinner, and fashion-week timing all blur into one long night.

Reservations & Best Timing+

Booking is by telephone on the day from 9 a.m. The restaurant and terrace run until very, very late at night, which makes Costes especially strong for long lunches turning into dinner, dinner turning into drinks, or late fashion-crowd tables.

Call to book

Bonne journée / TLC Paris Tip+
  • Best for a fashion-crowd lunch, late dinner, or a terrace moment that turns into drinks without changing address.
  • If you want “classic Paris scene” more than hidden local secret, Costes is exactly that category.
  • TLC Paris Concierge can pair Costes with Rue Saint-Honoré shopping, Place Vendôme, palace hotels & after-dark bars nearby.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Restaurant Costes is often visited as much for its atmosphere as for the menu. The terrace remains one of the city's best spots for people-watching, especially during Fashion Week and sunny afternoons.

Located just steps from Rue Saint-Honoré in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, Restaurant Costes sits within one of Paris’s most influential and refined neighborhoods, just moments from Place Vendôme and the historic Jardin des Tuileries. Part of the iconic Hôtel Costes, the restaurant has become a destination in its own right—recognized as much for its atmosphere as for its setting.

The heart of the experience is the interior courtyard terrace, where soft lighting, greenery, and closely set tables create a space that feels both intimate and social. Guests arrive throughout the day—from relaxed lunches to late dinners that naturally extend into the evening, echoing the rhythm of nearby Palais Royal and the surrounding streets.

The crowd is unmistakable. A mix of fashion insiders, creatives, and international visitors contributes to an atmosphere that feels constantly in motion. Familiar faces are not uncommon, yet the setting remains discreet—never forced, always natural.

The menu draws on classic French and Mediterranean influences, offering a refined yet approachable selection that complements the overall experience. At Restaurant Costes, however, the cuisine is only part of the story—the true appeal lies in the energy of the space, the people, and the feeling of being exactly where things are happening.

As the evening unfolds, the transition from dinner to nightlife feels seamless, with the surrounding neighborhood naturally leading toward Avenue de l’Opéra and the cultural landmarks of central Paris, including Opéra Garnier.

Restaurant Costes is the kind of place you find yourself returning to—again and again.
