Restaurant, café & foodstands

This restaurant for families, travellers and the curious’ is accessible via two entrances:

• one immediately on your right at the entrance to the zoo,
• the other, on the Lac Daumesnil side, without direct access to the zoo.

In the kitchen, a selection of key recipes from traditional French cuisine are revisited, with the emphasis on seasonal and local produce. Starters and desserts are served in verrines and main courses in casseroles, all in a ‘home-made’ buffet formula.

As for the zoo, there's something for everyone: fish, meat and vegetables... in a discovery formula or à la carte. Not forgetting a vegetarian choice and a children's menu. Sweet tooths have not been forgotten, with a choice of delicacies to indulge in for dessert or as a snack. For a snack or an aperitif, discover a brand new range of drinks: flavoured lattes (classic or Liège), organic craft beers and Monument Café lemonade, and a menu of tasty Monin cocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails available).

In the heart of the Park, nestling in the African Savannah, this family-friendly self-service restaurant offers a variety of dishes - burgers, pastas, salads, fish&chips, vegetarian options... - and several menus: ‘comfort’, children's, breakfast and afternoon tea... All of which can be enjoyed indoors or out on the terrace, with a bird's eye view over the African plain.

Everything has been designed to make your break pleasant without dragging it out: after picking up a tray and choosing your starter, drink and dessert, you order your dish at the cash desk. You can then sit back and nibble while your meal is being prepared in the kitchen.

Opening times: 
Every day, from the time the park opens until 30 minutes before it closes (times vary according to the season). Please note that the lunchtime service with the main menu is not continuous. In the afternoon, a varied offer adapted to the season takes over from the hot dishes.
