Maison Rostang, the two-Michelin-star restaurant that traded for decades as Restaurant Michel Rostang, is at 20 rue Rennequin in the 17th arrondissement de Paris, not the Bastille end of town. It serves Tuesday to Saturday, lunch 12:00 to 13:30 and dinner 19:00 to 21:30, and closes Sunday and Monday. Lunch menus start at 85 €; the long dinner menus run to 288 €, and a la carte lands near 200 € a head. The kitchen is led by chef Nicolas Beaumann, not by Michel Rostang himself, who founded the house in 1978 and has since handed it on. Book through the restaurant’s own site or on 01 47 63 40 77.

Where Is Maison Rostang and How Do You Get There?
Maison Rostang sits at 20 rue Rennequin, 75017 Paris, in the Plaine Monceau quarter of the 17th arrondissement, a short walk north-west of the Arc de Triomphe. Older listings that place this restaurant in the 11th arrondissement near the Bastille are wrong by roughly five kilometres and half a dozen arrondissements.
Rue Rennequin is a quiet residential street running between avenue de Wagram and rue Guillaume-Tell. The two closest metro stations are Ternes on line 2 et Pereire on line 3, both a few minutes on foot; Pereire also connects to RER C. Maison Rostang’s own practical-information page names Ternes and Place Pereire as its landmarks.
The dining room was renovated recently. Expect a glass roof open onto the kitchen, Art Nouveau detailing, an art collection on the walls and exposed brickwork, and full air conditioning in summer.
What Does Maison Rostang Cost?
The cheapest confirmed way into Maison Rostang is the 85 € Lunch Menu, served Tuesday to Saturday. Tasting menus climb through nine further tiers to 288 €. If you order a la carte instead, budget around 200 € per person before wine. These are the prices published on the restaurant’s own menu page in August 2026; several large booking aggregators still list an older 90 € lunch and 185 € / 225 € dinner structure, so treat the restaurant’s own figures as the current ones.
Menu | Prix | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
Lunch Menu | 85 € | The entry point; weekday lunch only |
Four-Course Lunch Menu | 105 € | A fuller midday meal |
Business Lunch (all-inclusive) | 135 € | Fixed total, drinks included |
Young Prestige Menu (under 30) | 135 € | Age-gated; bring ID |
Michelin Moment Menu | 148 € | A short signature run |
Garden Menu | 178 € | The plant-based tasting menu |
Menu Prestige | 198 € | The standard full dinner tasting |
Between Lake and Sea | 248 € | Fish and shellfish led |
Land, Lake and Sea | 268 € | The broadest menu |
Eight-course dinner and meeting the chef | 288 € | The longest experience |
A la carte, starters run from 68 € (the confit tomato with basil ice cream, or the lake pike quenelle) to 115 € for Persicus caviar. Fish dishes sit at 88 € to 110 €, meat around 95 € to 96 €, cheese 32 € and desserts 32 €. The pressed duckling in blood sauce is 88 € per person and is served for two.
What Should You Order at Maison Rostang?
The dish the MICHELIN inspectors call essential is the quenelle de brochet, a pike quenelle in lobster cream. It has been on this menu in one form or another for decades and is the single most reliable order in the house.
Alongside it, the current signatures named by the MICHELIN Guide are a poivrade artichoke served en velouté of its own leaves with a caper-and-olive stuffing, and Bresse poultry with salsify and a vin jaune jus. On the dessert side, pastry chef David Boudinet won the MICHELIN Guide’s Passion Dessert award in 2026; his 65 percent Madagascar chocolate dessert with crisp gavottes, fresh-herb sorbet and yuzu sauce is the one the guide singles out.
Two points worth correcting, because other write-ups get them backwards. This is not a seafood restaurant; it is a classical French house whose reputation rests on truffles, game, poultry and the pressed duck. And it does cater to plant-based diners, but through one specific route: the 178 € Garden Menu, which needs to be arranged when you book rather than assembled from the a la carte.
Who Cooks at Maison Rostang Now?
Nicolas Beaumann runs the kitchen and is a partner in the business. He trained as an apprentice under Michel Rostang, then worked as sous-chef at Le Meurice alongside Yannick Alléno before returning to lead this kitchen. Pages that still describe Michel Rostang as the working chef are out of date.
Pastry is led by David Boudinet, who came from the 1947 at Cheval Blanc Courchevel and Alain Ducasse’s Le Louis XV. The restaurant now sits inside Groupe Éclore, the Paris group led by Stéphane Manigold, whose other houses include Bistrot Flaubert next door, Contraste, Substance, Granite, Liquide and Braise.

Who Was Michel Rostang?
Michel Rostang was born in 1948 at Pont-de-Beauvoisin into a cooking family. His father, Jo Rostang, ran La Bonne Auberge at Antibes on the Côte d’Azur — the Mediterranean coast, not Brittany, as several online biographies state.
He went to hotel school in Nice, then apprenticed at the family restaurant in Sassenage near Grenoble, at Laporte in Biarritz, and in Paris at Lasserre, La Marée and Lucas Carton. He returned to the family’s two-star restaurant in 1973.
Dans 1978 he left the Riviera and opened his own restaurant in Paris under his own name. The first MICHELIN star followed in 1979 and the second in 1980, and the house has held two stars in the years since. From 1987 he expanded into a set of bistros and other Paris restaurants including L’Absinthe, Dessirier and Rue Balzac. The rue Rennequin restaurant later took the name Maison Rostang.

What Is the Dress Code at Maison Rostang?
Maison Rostang publishes no dress code. There is no dress-code line on its website, and none in the restaurant’s own list of frequently asked questions. That is the honest answer, and it is worth stating plainly because the confident answers you will find elsewhere do not agree with each other.
TheFork’s listing for the restaurant describes the expected dress as smart and elegant — smart trousers or a skirt, a blouse or a good shirt, proper shoes. Other aggregator listings describe the same restaurant as requiring formal dress. Neither claim comes from the restaurant.
What you can act on: this is a two-star Relais & Châteaux dining room, so dress at the smart end and you will not be the odd one out. A jacket is not stated as compulsory anywhere we could verify. If a jacket matters to you either way, the reliable move is to ask when you book on 01 47 63 40 77 rather than trust a listing site.
How Do You Book a Table at Maison Rostang?
There are three routes, all listed by the restaurant itself: the online booking widget on maisonrostang.com, which runs on TheFork; the telephone, on 01 47 63 40 77, answered during service hours; and email for anything unusual. Private salons and group bookings go through the same email route.
Because the restaurant closes Sunday and Monday and serves a narrow lunch window of 12:00 to 13:30, the 85 € Lunch Menu is the tier that fills first. If you want the Garden Menu, the under-30 Young Prestige Menu or a table for the pressed duck, flag it at the time of booking rather than on arrival.
Mistakes to Avoid at Maison Rostang
- Turning up on a Sunday or Monday. The restaurant is closed both days, and that catches out weekend visitors more than anything else on this list.
- Heading for the Bastille. The 11th-arrondissement address that circulates online is wrong; the restaurant is in the 17th, near Ternes.
- Arriving at 13:20 for lunch. Lunch service runs 12:00 to 13:30, which is tighter than most Paris restaurants.
- Budgeting from an aggregator price. Several still show the older 90 € lunch and 185 € dinner tiers; the restaurant’s own current entry point is 85 € and its top menu is 288 €.
- Expecting a seafood restaurant. The reputation here is built on truffles, poultry, game and pressed duck.
- Assuming plant-based diners can improvise from the a la carte. Ask for the 178 € Garden Menu when you book.
Is Maison Rostang Worth It?
It is worth it if what you want is classical French cooking done at two-star level, in a small, quiet, formally served dining room, with a deep wine cellar behind it. The 85 € lunch is one of the more accessible two-star lunches in Paris and is the sensible way to test the house before committing to a 198 € or 268 € dinner.
It is the wrong choice if you want a modern, loose, tasting-menu-only room, if you are travelling on a Sunday or Monday, or if the plant-based menu is your reason for coming and you cannot pre-arrange it. For a comparable Paris classic with a similarly formal register, La Tour d'Argent occupies much the same territory on the other side of the river.

Places to Stay Near Maison Rostang
Both of the hotels below are in the same 17th-arrondissement pocket as the restaurant, which matters if you are booking a long dinner and would rather walk back than find a taxi at 22:00.
Hôtel Monceau Wagram – Paris
Le Hôtel Monceau Wagram sits on avenue de Wagram, the avenue that rue Rennequin runs off, which puts it within a few minutes’ walk of the restaurant and a similar distance from the Arc de Triomphe.

Hôtel Avama Prony – Paris
Le Hôtel Avama Prony is a Haussmann-era building in the Plaine Monceau quarter, the same quiet residential pocket as the restaurant, and closer to Parc Monceau than to the tourist axis.

Things to Do and See Near Maison Rostang
All three sights below are within about a fifteen-minute walk of rue Rennequin, which makes them realistic before a 19:00 dinner booking.
Cathedrale Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky
The Cathédrale Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky on rue Daru is the Russian Orthodox cathedral of Paris, consecrated in 1861 and raised to cathedral rank in 1922. Its five gilded onion domes are visible from several streets away, and it is the closest genuinely unusual building to the restaurant. Check current visiting hours before setting out, as access is tied to the service schedule.
Arc de Triomphe
Le Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 and completed in 1836. It commemorates the soldiers of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies beneath it. The rooftop terrace, reached by a staircase inside the north pillar, gives the best view down the twelve radiating avenues. Use the underpass from the Champs-Élysées side; do not try to cross the traffic circle on foot.
Parc Monceau
Parc Monceau is the nearest of the good parcs à Paris and the one the neighbourhood is named after. It keeps a run of architectural follies, a colonnade around an oval pond, mature planes and a playground, and it is the obvious place to spend the hour before a dinner booking.

Sources and Method
Address, telephone number, service hours, closing days, chef, pastry chef, menu names and every price on this page were taken from Maison Rostang’s own website in August 2026 and cross-checked against the MICHELIN Guide entry for the restaurant. Where the restaurant’s own figures disagreed with booking aggregators, we used the restaurant’s. Michel Rostang’s biography was checked against published chef profiles; the founding sequence of 1978, first star 1979, second star 1980 is the version those sources agree on. The dress-code section reports the disagreement between listing sites rather than resolving it, because the restaurant itself states no policy.
Last updated August 2026. This rewrite corrected the arrondissement, the current restaurant name, the identity of the working chef, the founding dates, the location of La Bonne Auberge, and the menu prices, and added the restaurant’s address, phone number, service hours and full published menu pricing, none of which appeared in the previous version.
