Restaurants, Bars & Nightlife near Hôtel R de Paris

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.

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.

Les Caves Lechapelais is 240 m² of raw stone vaults steps from Place de Clichy, with two basement rooms and five-metre ceilings.
