Cafe des Artistes

A holographic recreation of the Café des Artistes of 2342

Paris, 2342

The view from the Café des Artistes

The Café des Artistes was a small restaurant in Paris, France on Earth, which offered an excellent view on the five-hundred-year-old Eiffel Tower. It was located near the office of the President of the United Federation of Planets.

In 2342, Jean-Luc Picard had a rendezvous with Jenice Manheim at the Café des Artistes. However, Picard failed to meet Jenice who later married Paul Manheim. In order to prepare himself for meeting Jenice again, Picard visited a holographic recreation of this café in 2364. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")

The simulation was also available aboard the USS Enterprise-E in 2373. (Star Trek: First Contact)

A closer look at the menu

The menu was seen on screen, but was not readable. It was later reproduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission on page 67. Featuring appallingly-spelled French (for example the translation for "Have your cake and eat it too" is literal to the point of making little sense in French) and a number of highly peculiar items, the menu is another example of the art department displaying in-jokes. The last line misspells "Galling" as a reference to Gaul, an ancient region roughly corresponding to, and associated with, modern France.
