‍
Whether you are visiting Paris for the first time or rediscovering it through the lens of Emily in Paris, La Fontaine Gaillon offers a memorable dining experience at one of the show’s most iconic restaurant locations.

A mythical restaurant in historic Paris

Set within a 17th-century mansion, La Fontaine Gaillon takes its name from the monumental fountain that adorns the square.

Built in 1707 by architect Jean Beausire and later remodelled in 1827 by Louis Visconti, the fountain features sculpted marine figures and stands as a postcard of historic Paris. The restaurant is deeply woven into the city’s heritage, balancing aristocratic elegance with the vibrant rhythm of Parisian life.

Heritage anecdote
‍The cellar of La Fontaine Gaillon sheltered members of the French Resistance during the Second World War. This remarkable chapter of history is still commemorated today by a plaque in the wine cellar.

Today, the house has regained all its brilliance: intimate dining rooms, curated art, golden light, and one of the most beautiful terraces in central Paris, perfect before or after the theatre or the Opéra.

La Fontaine Gaillon in Emily in Paris Season 5

Emily in Paris celebrates Paris like few modern series: fashion, romance, gastronomy, and iconic locations.
‍
Season 5, released in December 2025, reunites Lily Collins and Ashley Park and features La Fontaine Gaillon as one of its Parisian filming locations. The choice was obvious: timeless architecture, refined elegance, and a distinctly Parisian atmosphere that captures the spirit of the show.

Dining here allows guests to step into a real filming location and experience the Paris seen on screen — without sets or special effects.
