To see and to be seen !
One goes there to have dinner or for a drink, but above all to get a glimpse of another world. The setting can be Asian or Latin-American, old fashioned or contemporary, baroque or minimalist, in any case the décor is painstakingly stylised, often bearing the signature of one of the grand masters of design.
Musical ambiance holds pride of place in these establishments: be it electronic music, energetic or Zen, Cuban music, jazz, rock…
Frequented by celebrities and trendy youth, these places have become a “must” for the fashionable crowd. In terms of food, the menus vary as much as the décor: traditional, trendy, Asian, Mediterranean, South American, cuisine from all over the world…
Below is a list of some currently fashionable restaurants and bistros. You can find more addresses if you consult the Paris Tourism Office.
