A love letter to the Parisian bistro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After five wonderful years of vegetarian creations at Cr\u00e9atures, a new breeze is blowing. Same address, same chef, but brand-new ideas. Starting in May 2026, Balcon will bring its whimsical touch to the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. The concept was born from the encounter between Chef Julien Sebbag\u2019s culinary audacity and the inspiration of the setting: a breathtaking view like few others in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name was an obvious choice with a hint of wit: a balcony in the sky, putting the spotlight on the iconic Parisian monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A unifying, “good mood” menu<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of it all lies a deep-rooted love for the typical Parisian neighborhood bistro. “Balcon”<\/strong> offers seasonal, generous, and straightforward cuisine that pays homage to French tradition while injecting that touch of bold modernity so central to the Chef’s identity: black garlic devilled eggs (\u0153uf mimosa<\/em>), elderflower leek vinaigrette, or the classic hanger steak with peppercorn sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Good Mood” & summery plates<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the menu : true freshness and vibrant acidity through dishes designed to be enjoyed on a rooftop all summer long. We love the creative use of blueberry with gravelax, Greek yogurt, or fresh tarragon. True to Julien\u2019s love for plant-based cooking, seasonal produce takes center stage: asparagus, peas, a family-style ratatouille recipe, and heirloom tomatoes that celebrate the taste of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The love for nostalgic “comfort food” shines through in the truffle and parmesan coquillettes<\/em> (elbow pasta) or the chocolate-pistachio profiteroles\u2014to die for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s new? The weekly specials!<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Balcon, every day brings its own “canaille” treat. The Beef Bourguignon on Thursdays or the A\u00efoli on Tuesdays revive the nostalgic rituals of local neighborhood bistros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At any hour, and under every light of the day, Balcon<\/strong> establishes itself as the go-to terrace of the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
