Ever heard of these three places for a holiday meal in Paris?

There is someone on the boards who has done the Bustronome and recommends it, but it has absolutely zero appeal for me. Every time I see it driving around, I think how awful (to me) it would be to be in there having a meal.

My thoughts are with Kim. A festive meal on a bus? Why? but it has its fans so maybe we are wrong.

I was going to try the Bustronome, it sounds interesting and the reviews I have seen are generally good. The reason why I have not tried it; the bus departs and arrives within the 16 arrondissement, too far for me.

La Lorraine is a classic seafood oriented brasserie. It's a safe choice! Been there once before a concert at Salle Pleyel, specific memories are a bit hazy. I am not sure I'd travel far across the city to eat there in general, but I don't know how their holiday special meals are - are you referring to 31Dec dinner?

Thank you for your responses…..this is for a friend for plans on Christmas night.

I am among the fans of Bustronome. We found the food to be excellent and while the tour is slow-paced, that meant not having to rush to eat and we fully enjoyed seeing the lights of Paris while we ate. My expectations of the food were not high so I was pleasantly surprised. The French care about what they serve, even on a bus! BTW, we did the meal with the wine pairing and the wines were fine and well matched. This was, for perspective, in 2017.

Your friends need to hurry up and reserve, like yesterday already. This is really late for any brasserie, restaurant, or the Bus for Christmas.
