Tips for Visiting During an Exhibition

Close & Convenient:
Most recommended restaurants are within a 5-15 minute walk or a short metro ride from major exhibition venues. Choosing nearby spots helps you maximise your time, especially during busy show schedules and tight meeting agendas.

Reserve in Advance:
Large international exhibitions and trade fairs can significantly increase demand for nearby restaurants. Booking ahead, particularly for evening meals and client dinners, helps avoid long waits and limited availability.

Plan Around Peak Hours:
Lunch (12:00-2:00 pm) and dinner (7:00-9:00 pm) are the busiest times in exhibition areas. If possible, aim for slightly earlier or later dining to enjoy quieter service and faster turnaround.

Mix & Match Your Dining Experiences:
Balance your schedule with a variety of venues. Casual bistros and brasseries are ideal for quick meals and informal meetings, while modern or fine-dining restaurants work well for hosting important clients or closing business discussions.

Consider Transport Links:
Many excellent restaurants are located near metro and RER stations close to exhibition centres. A short ride can often open up better dining options without adding much travel time.
