An Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Boulevard Lagunaire beside the Pullman hotel, serving pasta, pizza from the oven and Mediterranean grills. It closes on Mondays and works mainly on the Plateau business trade.
La Taverne Romaine sits on Boulevard Lagunaire beside the Hôtel Pullman on the Plateau lagoon front, a location that puts it within walking distance of the district's main business towers and hotels. The kitchen runs an Italian and wider Mediterranean menu, with wood-oven pizza as the anchor alongside pasta dishes and grilled meats, a simpler and more casual register than the French fine-dining rooms elsewhere on the Plateau. The dining room trades on its lagoon-front position, with a relaxed, informal atmosphere that suits a working lunch as easily as a family dinner, and outdoor or lagoon-facing seating is part of its appeal when weather allows. Pricing is modest for the Plateau, making it one of the more accessible sit-down options in a district known for expensive hotel dining. The restaurant closes on Mondays, and reservations by phone are useful for dinner, when the lagoon-front tables fill with the after-work Plateau crowd; lunch is generally easier to walk into.
