Dinner

With Sezame, choose a hotel dinner without booking a room. A table for two, seasonal cooking or an evening combining a spa visit and a meal: explore clearly described experiences to book or give as a gift. Choosing the setting is part of the pleasure, but knowing exactly what your experience includes matters just as much.

Dinner at a hotel, without booking a room

Visiting a hotel for dinner lets you discover its restaurant for an evening. You enjoy the setting and its food without arranging an overnight stay. It is an idea for a date, a birthday celebration or a meal with people you love.

The format makes planning straightforward: you choose an experience with its inclusions described in advance. A starter, main course, dessert, glass of wine and cocktail are not automatically included together. Some addresses offer a tasting menu; others focus on a meal served in two or three courses.

This collection brings together ideas for five-star hotel experiences in Paris and La Baule. It helps you compare settings, timings and inclusions. To explore more tables in the capital, discover our selection of gourmet restaurants in Paris.

Our experiences for an evening of good food

Seasonal cooking at Lancaster

Neo-Bistro Experience & Glass of wine - Price: €60 per person.

In the 8th arrondissement, the five-star Hôtel Lancaster Paris offers a neo-bistro menu created by chef Sébastien Giroud. The cooking follows seasonal produce and market arrivals. A glass of wine accompanies the meal, with a selection that can be adjusted to individual preferences.

Dinner is offered Monday to Friday, from 7:30 pm to 9 pm. The menu is served to the whole table, and the listing states that it can accommodate allergies and intolerances. Mention your requirements when arranging your visit: the menu can change, so specific dishes should be confirmed.

An Italian tasting menu at Splendide Royal Paris

Italian Gastronomic Dinner - Price: €260 for 2 people.

The five-star Hôtel Splendide Royal Paris offers a five-course Italian tasting menu. The sequence of dishes focuses on discovery and the chef’s inspiration in an elegant atmosphere. It suits an evening devoted to food, rather than a meal combined with spa access.

The experience is advertised Tuesday to Saturday, with menus subject to seasonal changes. The displayed price covers two people. The listing does not mention a drink included with the menu: check this detail if you would like a food and wine pairing.

Dinner and a private spa at Grand Powers

Dinner & Private Spa - Price: €240 for 2 people.

At the five-star Grand Powers, the evening combines one hour of private spa access with a two-course dinner: starter and main course, or main course and dessert. The wellness space includes a hot tub, steam room and sauna. Cocktails or glasses of champagne complete this experience for two.

Private access applies to the spa; it does not mean that the restaurant is reserved exclusively for you. The offer is listed Monday to Thursday, from 6:30 pm, with dinner served until 9:30 pm. Check the order of the activities to leave enough time to enjoy your meal.

An evening by the ocean at L’Hermitage Barrière La Baule

Instant Well-Being & Dinner - Price: €295 per person.

At the five-star L’Hermitage Barrière La Baule, dining follows a moment of relaxation. The experience combines a 60-minute body or facial treatment with half a day of access to the wellness facilities. These include a sauna, hammam, indoor and outdoor pools, and a fitness room.

The advertised dinner at Ciro’s includes a glass of champagne, an aperitif, a starter, a main course and dessert, with other drinks charged separately. The listing allows for another restaurant within the establishment if the Club House is unavailable. Confirm the table and arrangements before booking.

Romantic dinner, fine dining or dinner with a spa: which experience should you choose?

For a romantic dinner, start with what you enjoy sharing. A multi-course menu invites you to discover flavours; a meal with a cocktail gives the evening a different feel. The setting matters, but so do the pace of the meal and the number of included activities.

A fine dining dinner suits those who want to dedicate the evening to cooking. Look at the number of courses, drinks and possible adjustments. Seasonal menus can vary: photographs give an idea of the culinary style without guaranteeing each dish on the date of your visit.

With dinner and a spa, the choice also involves facilities and access duration. Grand Powers provides private spa access; L’Hermitage Barrière La Baule combines a treatment, wellness facilities and an ocean-facing table. If this appeals to you, explore our night spas and private spas for couples, checking the inclusions of each experience.

Would you prefer to go out during the day? A splunch combines a spa visit and lunch. It may suit you when your schedule does not allow an evening dinner, while keeping the balance between relaxation and good food.

What to compare before booking

Start with the price and its unit. A price for two people cannot be compared directly with a per-person rate. A simple comparison table provides a clear basis: meal, drinks, guests and spa access.

This preparation makes your choice easier. Check the options and service days. For a birthday, confirm the time slot before choosing your address.

Look at the starters, main courses and dessert. Three courses and five courses suit different appetites. Fresh ingredients and the season can influence each recipe.

Choose a table according to your tastes too. Vegetable salad, chicken or fish: explain your preferences to the restaurant. Salmon and trout are examples to discuss, without assuming which menu is served.

For a vegetarian meal, ask which options are available. Courgettes, spinach or cucumber can help clarify your preferences. Check the accompaniments too: rice and tagliatelle may suit different dietary restrictions.

A sauce is part of the dining experience. Lemon, honey, mustard or rosemary: explain the flavours you enjoy. These examples guide your conversation with the restaurant, without promising a particular recipe.

For dietary restrictions, ask about butter, cream or cooking oil. Consider bread, pastry or pasta, and cheese. Also check the composition of cooking juices and fruit desserts if this matters to you.

These tips help you talk with the restaurant. The ingredient suggestions reflect personal preferences rather than the hotels’ menus. The experience listing and restaurant team remain your sources of confirmation.

For dinner with family or friends, check guest numbers and everyone’s needs. Share the time, address and evening arrangements. When bringing several guests together, send invitations two to three weeks ahead. Everyone can confirm their availability and food preferences; then check the restaurant’s time slots. This attention to organisation leaves more room for the pleasure of being together.

The atmosphere contributes to a balance between dining and relaxation. A quiet room for a romantic dinner or a livelier setting for a celebration? Ask about music, lighting and table arrangements.

For a wellness experience, check the duration, facilities and whether access is private or shared. A massage or swimming pool is not included by default. For a first visit, read the arrangements before booking.

Google searches can give you ideas, but return to the experience page. Check current conditions rather than an old search result. Click through to refine your comparison.

From seasonal dining to discovering Italian cooking, choose how you would like to spend your evening. What matters is the balance between table, setting and pace. Good food, simple booking and the pleasure of being together give the moment its meaning.
