The story

Saperlipopette! | Modern Cuisine on the Seine in Paris – Michelin Recommended

A restaurant on the water, just minutes from Paris

Saperlipopette! is part of the "Bistrots Pas Parisiens" family, a group known for creating convivial spots with personality. This one is a moored barge at the Port Van Gogh in Puteaux, an elegant escape on the Seine. The setting is deliberately playful, with the team described as "moussaillons" – sailors – welcoming guests aboard the vessel named ANKH.

The experience: indoor intimacy, outdoor airs

The boat seats up to 16 people inside its cozy cabin and another 25 on the exterior deck. The website pictures a terrace bathed in light, where the soundtrack drifts toward Dalida and Gipsy Kings. At just ten minutes from Porte Maillot, it feels removed from the city bustle. The whole space can be privatised for events, making it a flexible spot for celebrations.

Modern Cuisine on the water

The kitchen serves what the restaurant calls "cuisine du Splash" – modern cuisine that matches the fresh, fluid setting. Michelin’s Recommendation for 2026 points to a kitchen that delivers well beyond the barge setting suggests. The food is built around the rhythm of the Seine, best enjoyed with a glass in hand as the light fades over the river.

Why it made the index

Saperlipopette! earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, placing it on the radar as one of the more original addresses in greater Paris. The barge setting, the outdoor sun deck, and the unpretentious modern cuisine combine into an experience that feels both special and natural. It's a restaurant that knows exactly what it is: a beautiful spot on the water, run with spirit.
