Overview
Whether you're after a mid-morning pitstop or lazy lunch one sunny afternoon, be sure to head to Au vieux Châtelet along the river Seine. This inviting French brasserie, perched on the corner of 150 year-old Théâtre du Châtelet, is complete with pillar box red canopies, olde-worlde wood panelling and some of the best comfort food you'll find in this part of town.
With your pass, you can choose from the much-loved classic croque monsieur (a toasted sandwich with bubbly gruyère cheese, smoked ham and Dijon mustard, loaded with a rich, creamy béchamel sauce), or a croque madame (exactly the same base, with a fried egg thrown in for good measure - never a bad addition!)
You will also be offered a complimentary cassis-flavored kir royale Champagne cocktail, to be enjoyed from the sparkling sunny terrace in warmer weather, or hunkered down in a cosy spot inside during winter months.
What's included
A cassis-flavored kir royale Champagne cocktail
A croque monsieur sandwich and homemade French fries

Historic spot and great food
Karen C. ·Comfort food and filling—great before a day sightseeing
Délicieux
Marie-Claude ·Très bon croque-monsieur avec des frites. Portion très généreuse.
Delicious food and great view
Monika ·It was strange to just go there and say that I have a Paris Pass and receive food, but everyone was friendly and polite. The food was very tasty and the portion was quite big, I could not finish. I was in Paris in the beginning of October and the weather was still warm and sunny, so I was seated outside where the view was great with a typical Parisian atmosphere.
Good food
Wolf ·The food was very tasty and very good portions. The manager was very friendly, but our waiter made it very clear that we were an inconvenience, which was a shame. Other than that, we would recommend this establishment.
A great place to enjoy lunch.
Sara ·The restaurant was wonderful and it was much more than we expected. We receive excellent service, a wonderful table, and great people watching. The location was wonderful as well.
Easy
Travellers ·No problem using the pass. We had a nice table over looking the Seine. The food was delicious. Wait staff very accomodating and friendly, would highly recommend this place.
