Local tips
- Reserve in advance, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings, as tables fill up quickly with both locals and visitors.
- Ask the staff for wine pairing suggestions—the cellar includes rare French vintages and lesser-known European selections.
- For a more affordable experience, try the weekday lunch menu, which offers many of ET’s signature flavors at lunchtime prices.
- Vegetarians and pescatarians will find thoughtfully prepared options, but it’s best to notify the kitchen when booking.
- Enjoy a riverside stroll before or after your meal—the neighboring Latin Quarter is especially atmospheric at dusk.
