Situated in the 2nd Arrondissement of Paris being
close to the Avenue de l'Opera and the Paris Stock exchange, the Drouant is frequented by
business people for lunch and has free wireless internet access for their benefit, plus it
is a popular place for an evening meal after being to the theatre or the opera as it is
also located not far from the Op?ra Garnier and they serve food reasonably late.
This restaurant in Paris has the benefit of
Chef Antoine Westermann at the helm and he places a special emphasis on vegetables, plus

for the fresh seafood and oyster bar.
For a lunch time you could opt for a three course meal with a choice of starters, main
course and dessert, which is an approximate cost of 43€ or you can just opt for the
Plate of the Day, which is known as the Plats du jour and is around 20€ and each day
is different for example one day could be poached cod and steamed vegetables with sauce,
then another day could be roast chicken with fries and salad.
However, of an evening there is an ? la carte menu and children even have their own menu,
which is 5€ per dish, eg a starter, or a main or a dessert - you choose, depending
upon your child and how much they are likely to eat, so total would be no more than
15€.
