Restaurants, Bars & Nightlife near Hôtel R de Paris

No Entry is the speakeasy hidden beneath Pink Mamma on Rue de Douai — a secret bar accessed through a discreet door near the fridges, with décor somewhere between a mad herbalist's shop and a velvet boudoir. The menu goes all-in on Italy, with cocktails infused with ingredients from 15 Italian regions: try the Tropical Loveland with sweet potato–infused rum, or the Boulevardier with coffee vermouth. More than 3,000 litres of spirits macerate in large flower-adorned bonbonnes behind the bar — the spectacle is part of the experience.

Why go: For quality cocktails and a cosy, hidden-bar atmosphere.

Good to know: Seating can be limited—early evening is the easiest time.

Le Carmen is a bar-club set in the former private mansion of Georges Bizet, a listed historic monument on Rue Duperré in the 9th. The décor is unapologetically rococo: high ceilings, mouldings, columns, oversized mirrors, red velvet and an Empire daybed. What makes it fun is sipping one of their forty house-infused gins — grapefruit, hibiscus, even mustard — before heading downstairs to dance as the energy builds later in the evening.

Why go: A stylish Paris nightlife spot if you want a special setting.

Good to know: Nights can be selective—check the event and dress code.

A spectacular Italian restaurant by the Big Mamma group, spread across four floors in Pigalle with an impressive glass roof and a hidden speakeasy bar in the basement. You'll eat wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas (from 13.50 euros), cult truffle pasta, and a silky tiramisu. The ingredients arrive direct from Italy. The atmosphere is electric, the queues legendary — but the energy of the place is worth it.

Why go: Perfect for a friendly dinner with friends or as a couple, with great Italian classics (pizzas, antipasti, desserts).

Good to know: Very popular spot—booking is strongly recommended, especially in the evening and on weekends.

Le Carrousel occupies a former 1926 cabaret that once hosted Joséphine Baker, Édith Piaf and Dalida — and you can feel that legacy in the venue's energy. Today it's a festive cocktail bar with two counters, raw industrial décor with exposed walls, and a self-service draft beer system. Order Le Kriletche, their house special with cider, lime and Schweppes Ginger Beer (11€). The vibe sits somewhere between cocktail bar and club, with an eclectic music programme and a large screen for match nights.

Why go: Great for a fun evening out in a lively neighborhood.

Good to know: Late hours can get busy; weekends are the most popular.

PNY — short for Paris New York — has one mission: to restore the burger's good name. Here, the beef comes from handpicked producers, the buns are baked in-house every morning (a recipe fine-tuned over more than fifty trials), and the cheddar is aged for several months by a small producer in Somerset. The Vintage cheeseburger and the Return of the Cowboy (nine-month aged cheddar, caramelized onions, smoked bacon, onion rings, homemade barbecue sauce) are the house classics. In Pigalle, the decor tells the story of rap across a thousand vinyl records, and the venue turns into a bar until 2am from Thursday to Saturday.

Why go: For one of the best burgers in Paris, eight minutes from the hotel, in a spot that turns into a bar in the evening.

Good to know: No reservations — expect to queue at peak times, so come a little off-hours. Budget €12 to €20 for a meal.

The brasserie of three-Michelin-starred chef Eric Frechon, set right inside the Gare Saint-Lazare — a European first for a top chef. You'll find generous, refined French brasserie cooking: eggs mayo, quenelles, fish, quail en cocotte, brioche-style French toast and a truffle croque-monsieur. The signature dessert, the Paris-Deauville, was created especially for the venue. Open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to midnight, with 110 seats around a central bar and a terrace.

Why go: Modern brasserie inside Gare Saint-Lazare: classic French dishes under a bright glass roof; handy before a train—expect crowds at peak times.

Opposite Gare Saint-Lazare, Mollard is one of the last great 1900-era brasseries in Paris: the Art Nouveau interior designed by Édouard Niermans in 1895 — mosaics, Sarreguemines ceramics, listed ceilings — has remained intact, and you dine quite literally inside a listed historic monument. The menu plays the brasserie classics with a serious oyster bar: seafood platters, oysters, sole meunière, seafood choucroute. What makes it truly unique is finding this level of décor paired with a proper shellfish counter a stone's throw from the hotel.

Why go: For an authentic Parisian grand brasserie experience — listed décor and fresh seafood — without crossing the city.

Good to know: Continuous service until late; booking recommended at weekends — ask for the grand historic dining room.

Stéréo, at 43 Rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, is a natural wine bar where vinyl records spin behind the counter — hence the name. The décor mixes raw stone, concrete and neon, with Triangle speakers and over 50 references of additive-free wines. The team even produces their own cuvées. It's the kind of authentic, lively spot where music and wine echo each other — ideal for a drink at the end of the day with a real neighbourhood feel.

Why go: Perfect for a glass and a few small plates, whether as a couple or with friends.

Good to know: Small space — better to arrive early if you want a seat.

Heir to the legendary Locomotive, La Machine du Moulin Rouge has been Pigalle's temple of contemporary music since 2010. The concept revolves around three spaces — Le Central (1,000 capacity), La Chaufferie in the basement (400 dancers) and a hidden rooftop — with a cutting-edge programme spanning rock, electro, hip-hop and soul. Try a clubbing night at La Chaufferie: the atmosphere is raw and the crowd comes for the music, not to be seen.

Why go: A solid choice for Paris nightlife in the Montmartre area.

Good to know: Check the program and door time—each night can feel very different.

A fixture on the place de Clichy since 1892, Wepler is the writers' brasserie — Henry Miller had his regular table here, and the prestigious Prix Wepler literary prize is still awarded here every autumn. People come for the oyster bar, one of the most highly regarded in northern Paris, the seafood platters, sole or steak tartare, all served in a grand dining room with the atmosphere of a brasserie from another era. The address has just undergone a full renovation in keeping with its original spirit.

Why go: For the oysters and the atmosphere of a historic literary brasserie, eight minutes' walk from the hotel.

Good to know: Reopening in September 2026 after a full renovation — check opening status before you visit.

A mandu (Korean dumpling) bar with counter seating in the 8th, created by Korean chef Kwang-Loc Kim. Six varieties of dumplings — vegetarian, chicken, kimchi, beef, shrimp, pork — with a thin wheat-and-rice-flour wrapper, always served with tofu and accompanied by soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Add a beef or sea-bream tartare to complete the meal. It's simple, fresh and masterfully done — about twenty counter seats, no more.

Why go: A great spot for tasty Korean comfort food near central Paris.

Good to know: Small venue—reservations or early arrival help.

Perched on the rooftop of the Moulin Rouge, tucked into a secret Montmartre alley — the Cite Veron — this baroque-styled bar-brunch spot is a genuine hidden gem.

A true hotel bistro done the way we love it, tucked away in the Batignolles with a winter garden that gives the place all its charm.

Don't miss the eggs mayo and the gratineed French onion soup, two genre-defining dishes executed to perfection.

Why go: A comfortable "real Paris bistro" for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

An elegant neo-bistro on Place Gustave-Toudouze, with chic 70s decor — burnt-orange velvet, polished concrete and candlelight in the evening. Chef Noah Howell revisits classic French bourgeois cooking with generosity: shallot tatin, Basque Country lamb chops, beef tartare. At lunch, the 29-euro menu is faultless — don't miss the Toulouse sausage with mash and the chef's clementine-pistachio dessert.

Why go: Elevated Paris dining in an elegant setting.

Good to know: Booking is recommended, especially on weekends.

A 10-seat Japanese canteen in Batignolles — the kind of address people share in whispers. The fish is remarkably fresh, and the chirashi and sashimi are prepared with a level of care that's rare at this price point (a full dinner with starter, soup, chirashi and dessert for 24 euros). Don't miss the black sesame creme brulee, which has achieved cult status. It's authentic, no-frills, and it tastes like Japan.

Why go: A discreet Paris favourite for Japanese-food lovers.

Founded in 2019 by Charles Ganem and Samuel Nataf, Dumbo brought the American smash burger to Pigalle and scooped Le Fooding's Best Burger award in 2020. The concept is simple and devastating: a steak pressed onto a searing-hot plancha for crispy edges and a juicy centre, a pillowy bun, ketchup, mustard, house-made pickles and American cheese. Double-fried chips and a house sauce round things off. Four Paris locations now, but the original remains right here.

Why go: A strong comfort-food option after a night out.

Good to know: Peak times get busy—go early for less waiting.
