BOUTIQUES OF MONTORGUEIL
The area around Sentier, Etienne Marcel and leading all the way up to Les Halles is, in my opinion, one of the best shopping districts in Paris. Here one can find a wide selection of stores offering trendy street fashion for men women and even kids. There are also several famous ‘fripperies’...
FRENCHIE
Who can open a small restaurant on a nearly forgotten street with a few simple menu items, charge below average prices and make every single customer walk out of the door satisfied? Gregory Marchand can. After a long time abroad, working with the likes of Jamie Oliver, he came back to Paris and set...
ANDY WAHLOO
It can be said that this bar is a victim of its own success but I prefer to just stick with the success part. It can also be said that the crowd is bobo-barf but I will just call them hot! Andy WAHLOO does happy hour, it serves food ( North African tapas ) has a dj ( playing dance table elctropop...
BISTROT DES DAMES
Don’t let appearances fool you, this nonchalant bistrot is loved by many young cool locals. There is always a warm lively atmosphere inside and out…by out I mean the lush and probably the most hidden terrace in Paris! Its a great place to grab a simple and delicious dinner with friends,...

LA FIDELITE
NYC has Lower East side, SF has the Tenderloin, London has Camden. For Paris, the gritty hip neighborhood is slowly but surely becoming the 10th arrondissement. And testament to that is the addition of LA FIDELITE Brasserie. In the small unassuming street by the same name, in the building previously...
HOTEL DU NORD
Dining on the set of Marcel Carné’ s legendary film noir. Presentation This restaurant epitomizes the cool intelligent chic of today’s Paris. To get there, one is better off riding a bicycle or walking to fully take in and appreciate the surrounding Canal St. Martin before passing through...
EXPERIMENTAL COCKTAIL CLUB
Presentation They understand the true meaning of cocktail. France is known for its wines but when it comes to cocktails…yes, in a fine martini glass iced before use… yes, with proper ingredients properly shaken…yes, not watered down by one lone ice cube floating desperately to...
4 ELEMENTS BAR
Presentation Trendy democratic new bar with a lounge and a functioning fumoir. Yeah!!! The element-themed bar opened in Spring 2009 in Republique giving the neighborhood bobos a new place to party. Bartending wonders shouldn’t be expected here, but one can have just as much fun with a beer when...
L’ALTERNATIVE
As the name suggests this is a great alternative to the big crowded and rowdy night establishments. The sound still competes, the decor is boudoir red, the music is electro, the crowd is happy and hip. A glass of champagne is 12 euros and a bottle is 200 and up. Its a place to dress up. 33 01 42 96...
