An evening plan can begin with one good anchor. Choose the exhibition if you want time with art, or a restaurant when the point is to sit down and eat. These addresses are in different parts of Paris: pick the one that fits where your day leaves you.

The late museum visit is specifically a Thursday option during the exhibition’s run; check the linked dates for holiday changes. Both restaurants publish continuous service, but their arrival arrangements differ. Use their own websites for a booking or queue update. The selections below are practical editorial suggestions based on official information, with no claim of a recent dining review.
