69 Rue des Gravilliers, 3rd Paris, Ile-de-France 01 42 71 20 38 |
This kitsch Moroccan bar, under the same ownership as the chic 404 restaurant next door, has become one of the latest locales of the Paris jet-set. The cosmopolitan clientele sit on pop-art paint-can stools, eating tapas and drinking North African wines, cocktails and mint tea with the latest raĂŻ music mixes playing in the background.

This tiny Montmartre country house has been a popular cabaret for over 150 years. The main room is low-lit, with red lampshades, dark walls covered in old paintings and drawings, and set with ancient wooden tables and benches to hold about 60 people. There is a piano, but no stage. The performers sing and play their instruments right in the center of the room, everything from old Edith Piaf songs with an accordion to pianoaccompanied poetry.

Just inside and to the right of the hotel entrance, this designer bar is the perfect place to settle in for some star-spotting with an elaborate cocktail. There are cozy leather club chairs in the lounge and an iceberg-like bar that lights up when you touch it.
