La Terrasse Kleber is the rooftop garden on top of The Peninsula Paris, a glass-roofed terrace of olive trees and rose-lined alcoves where a cocktail comes with a clear view of the Eiffel Tower.

La Terrasse Kleber crowns The Peninsula Paris at 19 Avenue Kleber in the 16th arrondissement, minutes from the Arc de Triomphe and Trocadero. Under a glass roof, the rooftop reads as a garden rather than a bar deck, with olive trees, white umbrellas, and rose-lined alcoves arranged around the tables. AFAR describes it as one of the most refined rooftop settings in the city, a place built for the view without the rope-line theatrics of a club.
The draw is a calm, well-heeled rooftop where a drinker can hold a table for hours. The terrace serves refined food through the day and cocktails at any hour, and in winter it converts into a heated cocoon so the room works year round.
The room
The terrace sits high above Avenue Kleber, with the glass roof giving shelter while keeping the open-air feel. Olive trees and planted alcoves break the space into smaller corners, so a table can feel private even on a full evening. The view runs to the rooftops of the 16th and the Eiffel Tower beyond, which is the reason most guests book. The dress code is smart casual, and the service matches the address.
What to order
Order a cocktail and take the table for the long view, since the terrace is built for lingering rather than a quick round. The kitchen sends refined plates if dinner is the plan, and the bar handles classics and house creations to the standard a Peninsula address demands. Pricing sits firmly in the $$$$ band, in line with the hotel and the postcode. The list leans on classic builds and a short run of house cocktails, and the bar will steer a guest who wants something lighter for a long afternoon on the terrace.
The crowd and best time to go
Hotel guests, well-dressed locals, and visitors after a view fill the terrace, and the room runs from noon late into the night. Sunset is the prize window for the Eiffel Tower view, so a table booked ahead for early evening is the move. The terrace opens daily at noon and closes at 12:30am Sunday to Wednesday and 1:30am Thursday to Saturday.
What regulars say
Coverage across AFAR, Mixologie, and city guides centres on the setting: the glass-roofed garden, the olive trees, and the view. The common note is that this is a destination for the occasion and the scene rather than a bargain, so it suits a celebration over a casual round.
Who it is for
This is for the special occasion, the view-seeker, and anyone who wants a polished rooftop without a queue. Skip it for a cheap night or a loud crowd. For more of the city, see our Paris rooftop bars guide and the full Paris bar guide.
The verdict
La Terrasse Kleber wins because it pairs a genuine garden setting with one of the best rooftop views in Paris, then backs it with Peninsula service. Book for sunset, take a corner among the olive trees, and order a cocktail to hold the table. For more polished Paris drinking, compare the rooftop at Debonair, the classics at Bar Hemingway at The Ritz, and the hotel glamour of Le Bar du Plaza Athenee. Our rooftop bars guide covers more.
