17 place du trocadero 75016 Paris
Between these highlights, choosing a well-located venue makes it possible to continue conversations while fully enjoying the capital
From September 28 to October 6, 2026, Paris will host the Women’s Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2027 Fashion Week®. For nine days, fashion houses, designers, buyers, journalists, and industry professionals will gather in the capital around next season’s collections.
Beyond the runway shows, Fashion Week transforms Paris into a true meeting place. Presentations, showrooms, press appointments, business lunches, and evening parties punctuate particularly intense days.
The Trocadéro district will hold an interesting place in this excitement. From September 30 to October 6, the Palais de Tokyo will host SPHERE Paris Fashion Week® Showroom, an initiative by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode dedicated to young design.
In this context, finding a spot to enjoy lunch or dinner without straying far from your fashion appointments becomes a real asset.
During Fashion Week, schedules move quickly. A runway show can be followed by a press appointment, a showroom visit, or a meeting with a client. Lunch must therefore blend naturally into this schedule without becoming an extra constraint.
Lunching Without Straying From Fashion Appointments
Choosing your restaurant based on its location helps avoid multiplying travel times and turns lunch into a genuine breathing space.
Around the Trocadéro, the proximity to the Palais de Tokyo is particularly appealing during this edition. SPHERE will bring together several young brands and designers there for much of Fashion Week.
Just minutes away, Café de l’Homme offers a change of atmosphere without leaving this western district of Paris. It is a way to take a break between appointments while keeping Paris and the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.
Extending the Day Around a Fine Table
Lunch and dinner also play an important role in the professional exchanges surrounding Fashion Week.
Hosting a client, meeting up with a team, or continuing a conversation started during a showroom visit takes on a whole new dimension when the meeting takes place in an iconic venue.
The restaurant then becomes more than just a simple break between shows: it fully contributes to the Parisian Fashion Week experience.
During this particularly busy week, several criteria can guide your choice of a restaurant.
Location remains essential. A venue situated close to the main events helps keep your schedule fluid. The setting also matters, especially when entertaining partners, journalists, or international clients.
Finally, the pace of service must adapt to the constraints of the day. Lunch can be designed as a relatively short pause between appointments, whereas dinner allows more time to unwind after the final events.
For those who wish to combine these criteria with a typically Parisian experience, restaurants with views of the Eiffel Tower offer a striking setting.
At the Trocadéro, Café de l’Homme brings together proximity to certain Fashion Week events, contemporary French cuisine, and an iconic panorama.
Located in the Palais de Chaillot, Café de l’Homme sits at 17 Place du Trocadéro, facing the Eiffel Tower. Its panoramic terrace provides a privileged environment for lunch between appointments or finishing a day of Fashion Week with dinner.
Under the direction of Chef Wilfried Graux, the cuisine follows the rhythm of the seasons, catering equally to business lunches and late-night gatherings that extend long after the shows.
Lunching at Trocadéro Between Appointments
At lunchtime, several formats allow you to adapt the meal to your daily schedule.
The Eiffel Lunch Experience notably offers a guaranteed front-row table facing the Eiffel Tower, a two-course seasonal menu crafted by the Chef, a glass of Champagne, and a selection of the day’s wine. Service is available from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM, designed for a streamlined 1.5-hour experience.
This format is particularly well-suited for transforming a break between appointments into a true Parisian moment while keeping your timing under control.
For greater freedom, the à la carte menu also lets you discover Café de l’Homme’s cuisine without a set menu.
Dining Facing the Eiffel Tower After the Shows
When the day’s final appointments wind down, Café de l’Homme reveals a different atmosphere.
The daylight gradually fades behind Paris, the Eiffel Tower lights up, and dinner can unfold in a more intimate setting. The Eiffel Dinner Experience notably guarantees a front-row table and features a three-course menu signed by Wilfried Graux.
It is an ideal setting for hosting a partner, gathering a team, or simply decompressing after a day spent navigating shows, presentations, and showrooms.
Fashion Week does not only take place on the runways. Press dinners, cocktails, product launches, media meetings, and brand events also play a major role in this week.
Café de l’Homme offers its spaces for private hire to host events directly facing the Eiffel Tower. Its dedicated Fashion Week page highlights a reception room and a central 350 m² terrace available for full privatization, as well as a more intimate mezzanine that can accommodate up to 18 guests.
Organizing a Press Dinner or Cocktail Party
Following a presentation or a runway show, gathering journalists, partners, and guests over dinner or a cocktail helps extend a brand’s universe in a more informal setting.
Facing the Eiffel Tower, the backdrop becomes instantly recognizable, lending a deeply Parisian dimension to the event.
Imagining a Brand Event
During Fashion Week, the choice of venue heavily influences the image projected.
Café de l’Homme indicates that its spaces can be customized according to your needs and offers event planning support to tailor the layout and staging.
This is an appealing option for fashion houses, agencies, and professionals looking to host an event in an environment distinct from traditional showrooms.
Organizing a Fashion Show Facing the Eiffel Tower
The venue can also host a runway show. Café de l’Homme features an offering specifically dedicated to Fashion Week events, presenting its terrace as a space that can be set up with a runway or various elements tailored to a brand’s aesthetic.
The Eiffel Tower then becomes an integral part of the scenography, providing collections with a backdrop immediately associated with Paris.
During Fashion Week, every moment of the day counts. Between a runway show, a showroom, and a professional appointment, choosing a well-located venue transforms downtime into genuine opportunities to connect.
Close to the Palais de Tokyo and facing the Eiffel Tower, Café de l’Homme fits naturally into this rhythm. Whether you are lunching between appointments, dining after the shows, or hosting a fully privatized event, there are many ways to extend your Fashion Week experience with Paris as your backdrop.
