Restaurant near the Accor Arena: dinner before the show
Going to a concert or a game at Bercy? Ty Louis, a Breton restaurant on the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, serves non-stop from 12 pm to 11 pm. Eat early and unhurried, then line 14 drops you right at the arena.
- Non-stop from 12 pm
- Bercy in 2 stops
- No crêpes, no galettes
Ty Louis is a Breton restaurant at 240 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, in the 12th arrondissement, two metro stops from the Accor Arena in Bercy (line 1 to Gare de Lyon, then line 14 to Bercy). It serves non-stop from 12 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday to Saturday, so you can sit down for dinner at 5 or 6 pm and still be at the arena before the doors open.
From Paris to Brittany
Bercy, in the 12th
The biggest arena in Paris, two stops from our table
The Accor Arena, the former Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy, holds up to around 20,000 people for a concert. It hosts the big international tours, UFC nights, the Festival des Arts Martiaux, a few major EuroLeague games played by Paris Basketball and, in January 2027, an NBA regular-season game.
On concert nights, the whole Bercy area is looking for a table at the same moment. Ty Louis sits a little apart from that, on the Faubourg Saint-Antoine between Bastille and Nation, one metro stop from Gare de Lyon. A Breton restaurant since 2017 and a member of the Collège Culinaire de France, it serves no crêpes and no galettes, but the rest of Brittany’s cooking: kig ha farz in winter, seafood, buckwheat, cork-stoppered Breton ciders (cidre bouché).
Before the show
Fit dinner around your show time
In Paris, a lot of kitchens close between 2.30 pm and 7 pm, which is exactly when a concert-goer wants to eat. At Ty Louis the service runs without a break from 12 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. So you can have a proper dinner early, without watching the clock, before you join the queue at Bercy.
Lunch on matinée days
A Saturday daytime show, or a game that starts early in the evening: service begins at midday, and line 14 gets you to Bercy in two stops.
After the show? Honestly, no
We close at 11 pm. If your concert ends at 10.30 pm or later, there will not be time to eat with us. Come before instead.
From the table to the arena
Two metro stops to Bercy
The Accor Arena is at 8 boulevard de Bercy, 75012 Paris, right by Bercy metro station (lines 6 and 14). From 240 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, the trip breaks down like this. Walking times are our own estimates, not measurements.
- 1
Walk to Reuilly-Diderot
The station is about 300 metres from the restaurant, roughly 3 minutes on foot along the Faubourg Saint-Antoine.
- 2
Line 1, one stop
Take line 1 in the direction of La Défense and get off at Gare de Lyon, the very next stop.
- 3
Line 14, one stop
At Gare de Lyon, change to line 14 in the direction of Aéroport d’Orly and get off at Bercy, the next stop. The arena is right outside the station.
- 4
Or walk the whole way
About 1.8 km, so roughly 25 minutes on foot by our own estimate, passing Gare de Lyon. Not a bad idea after a proper meal, before three hours in a seat.
At the table
What to eat before the show

Good to know
Bercy and the Accor Arena: your questions
Where can I eat before a concert at the Accor Arena?
Ty Louis, a Breton restaurant at 240 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine (Paris 12), serves non-stop from 12 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. You can have dinner from 5 or 6 pm, then reach the Accor Arena in two metro stops: line 1 to Gare de Lyon, then line 14 to Bercy.
Can I have dinner at 5 pm in Paris?
At Ty Louis, yes. Most Paris kitchens close between about 2.30 pm and 7 pm, but ours runs continuously from midday to 11 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. The set lunch menu is served at midday only, so an early dinner means ordering from the menu.
Which metro goes to the Accor Arena?
Bercy station, on lines 6 and 14, is right at the arena. From Ty Louis, take line 1 at Reuilly-Diderot to Gare de Lyon (one stop), then line 14 to Bercy (one stop).
How long does it take to get from the restaurant to Bercy?
Two metro stops with one change at Gare de Lyon, plus about 3 minutes on foot to Reuilly-Diderot. On foot, the arena is about 1.8 km away, roughly 25 minutes by our own estimate.
What time do the doors open at the Accor Arena?
Usually 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours before the show starts, but the exact time is printed on your ticket and changes from one night to the next. Check the security rules and bag size limits on the arena’s own website before you set off.
Is the Accor Arena the same as the arena at La Défense?
No. The Accor Arena, formerly the Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy, is at 8 boulevard de Bercy, in the 12th arrondissement. The arena at La Défense, in Nanterre, is a different venue: the former Paris La Défense Arena, renamed Plenitude Arena on 1 July 2026. That is where the Rolex Paris Masters tennis tournament is now played, since it left Bercy in 2025.
Do I need to book on a concert night?
It is a good idea, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Book online or call 06 73 08 54 13 (+33 6 73 08 54 13 from a foreign phone) and tell us your show time: we will plan the service around it.
Can I eat after the concert?
Rarely. We close at 11 pm, and most concerts at Bercy finish later. If your evening ends early, call us; otherwise the simplest option is to eat before.
Are you open on Sundays and Mondays?
We are closed on Mondays, and on Sundays except for about ten Sunday lunches a year, announced on our Instagram @letylouis and listed on our visit page. So for a concert on a Sunday or Monday evening, we cannot have you for dinner beforehand.
Do you take American Express?
Yes, along with credit and debit cards, cash and French luncheon vouchers. Worth knowing, because plenty of Paris restaurants turn it down. Chèques-vacances holiday vouchers are not accepted.
Is Ty Louis a crêperie?
No. It is a Breton restaurant that has served no crêpes or galettes since 2017: kig ha farz in winter, choucroute de la mer, a reworked galette-saucisse, warm kouign-amann, ciders and beers from Brittany.
