Where to eat

Lunch Kodawari Ramen (Tsukiji)

13:35
Ramen Restaurant 4.4★ (12,210) 💶 €75

Order: For Claudiu, Roxana, and Melek, the safest order is to get one Chintan de Daurade Royale, one vegetarian mushroom ramen, and one richer special bowl if you want variety. If you want the most distinctive option, add the mazemen with scallops, nduja, and lobster to share, since reviewers highlight it as one of the more memorable dishes.

The restaurant feels like an immersive Tsukiji fish market set, with detailed market-style decor, sound effects, and a lively broth-and-seafood atmosphere.

Dinner Paris: Seine River Panoramic Views Dinner Cruise (Paris en scène)

21:45
💶 €255

Order: For Claudiu, Roxana, and Melek, the safest choice is the standard fixed menu with the home-made cocotte option if available, since real reviews describe Paris en Scène as a good-value bistronomic dinner cruise rather than a place with a long à la carte list. If there is a window-seat or upper-deck option, choose that for the best Seine views, especially for a family trip.

The vibe is relaxed, romantic, and scenic, with a casual bistronomic dinner setting and illuminated views of the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame from the boat.
