Restaurants, Bars & Nightlife near Hôtel R de Paris

A Michelin-starred and hushed table — just six tables — near Saint-Augustin. Chef Arthur Dubois, who spent six years with Pierre Gagnaire, delivers modern, precise cuisine built around playful variations on a single product: langoustines "three flavours" in buttermilk sauce, red mullet with fresh seaweed and a rock-juice jus with foie gras. A genuine gastronomic experience, intimate and pitch-perfect.

Why go: For a refined gastronomic experience in Paris with a chef's-counter feel.

Good to know: Limited covers—book well in advance.

Dirty Dick has been flying the tiki flag on Rue Frochot in Pigalle for thirteen years — and it's probably the finest tiki bar in Paris. The décor is pure escapism: rattan furniture, Polynesian totems, painted vahines on the walls — you'd think you'd wandered into a Disney attraction, cocktail edition. Order the Zombie (the house classic) or its lighter cousin the "Petit Joueur Zombie" at 12€ to get a taste without going overboard. Bartender Sébastien crafts creations like the Dill Dooooh with dill and anise — surprising and addictive. The energy picks up fast in the evening; this is the kind of place where you always stay longer than planned.

Why go: Perfect for a lively night out and exotic drinks in Paris.

Good to know: It gets busy—go early if you want a seat.

Les P'tits Potes is the quintessential friends' wine bar — two locations, including one on Rue de Trévise in the 9th. You share wines from small French producers alongside generous boards of charcuterie and cheeses sourced through short supply chains. The staff are the kind who'll guide you enthusiastically toward a bottle you'd never have picked on your own. The atmosphere is so convivial that you'll easily stay longer than planned — rated 9.1/10 on TheFork, and it's well deserved.

On the 8th floor of the Galeries Lafayette, young chef Julien Sebbag has created a 100% vegetarian rooftop with a sweeping 360-degree panorama over Paris — the Opera in the foreground, the Eiffel Tower as backdrop. You'll enjoy house-made shakshuka, "Golden Hour" potatoes with a soft-boiled egg, courgette-stracciatella focaccia, and the portions are generous for very fair prices (14 to 40 euros). The vibe is chill and sun-drenched, and it's open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Why go: Lunch with a view in central Paris.

Good to know: Go around off-peak hours for easier seating.

A New York-style deli opened in 2025 in the 9th, by Lea and Sacha who reinvent Ashkenazi street food with real know-how. The bagels are hand-kneaded every morning and loaded with cream cheese, corned beef or lox, the latkes are perfectly crispy and served in generous portions. Don't miss Grandma Rachel's cheesecake for dessert, or the Paris-Montreal — a sweet bagel with maple syrup and fleur de sel.

Why go: Fast, satisfying meal in Paris when you want something different.

Good to know: Peak hours can be busy—takeaway can help.

A warm, highly rated Lebanese restaurant (9.2/10 on TheFork) on Rue de l'Isly, between Saint-Lazare and the Madeleine. All the mezze are house-made — hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, vine leaves — and the shawarmas (beef or chicken) are generous. The terrace is lovely in fine weather, the service is described as attentive and professional, and there are excellent vegetarian options. The atmosphere is intimate, almost romantic in the evening.

Why go: Great for two or a group: order a selection of mezze and taste a bit of everything.

The bouillon is a Parisian institution brought back to life: 300 seats in an oversized brasserie setting at the foot of Boulevard de Clichy, steps from the Moulin Rouge. You'll eat generous French classics — eggs mayo for 2.50 euros, boeuf bourguignon, duck confit, escargots — with bills that rarely top 25 euros per person, wine included. It's simple, it's hearty, and it tastes like real brasserie cooking.

Why go: A simple way to try traditional French favourites.

Good to know: Peak dinner time can mean a wait—go early for quicker seating.

A Lebanese institution housed inside Printemps Haussmann, with refined golden-accented decor and a hushed atmosphere.

A 500 m2 rooftop on the top floor of Printemps Haussmann, with a plant-filled terrace of exotic greenery and a sweeping view over the Paris rooftops.

A bistronomie bistro on Rue Victor Masse, with chic 1940s vintage decor and inventive market-driven cooking at gentle prices.

The atmosphere is pure Parisian bistro, no showing off.

Why go: Great for "real" French bistro food without fuss.

Good to know: Reserve for dinner; the room fills fast.

A Michelin-starred sushi-ya in Montmartre, with just 9 seats at a hinoki-wood counter. Chefs Chizuko Kimura and Takeshi Morooka (30 years in the craft) practise the art of edomae — nigiri of remarkable precision, first-rate fish, subtle seasonings. The omakase experience comes in two formats, chosen at booking, and each bite is a small moment of grace. The star, regained in 2025, is richly deserved.

Why go: Ideal if you want a refined, quiet Japanese restaurant focused on top-quality sushi.

Good to know: Reservation recommended; mention allergies/preferences in advance.

The pizzeria of Giuseppe Peppe, world pizza champion, on Rue des Martyrs. 90% of the ingredients are imported from Italy, the dough is Neapolitan and airy, and the toppings are generous without being excessive. The Margherita at 13 euros is flawless, but the Champion du Monde (20 euros) and the Queen Tartuffo with truffle (21 euros) are well worth trying. Ranked in Tripadvisor's top 200 Paris restaurants — and deservedly so.

Why go: A great pick if you want a proper Neapolitan pizza without the fuss, for lunch or dinner.

The coolest seafood counter in Pigalle, right next to Hotel Rochechouart.

A ramen chain with several Paris locations including one on Rue de Chateaudun in the 9th.

The signature ramen with foie gras, truffle and wagyu is a real surprise, the gyoza are excellent, and the black sesame cheesecake for dessert is a lovely find. Ratings between 8.6 and 9.3/10 across locations — consistently good.

A cave a manger on the lower stretch of Rue des Martyrs, driven by chef Stefano De Carli (ex-Verre Vole, Passerini) and his partner Nicolas Philips, a winemaker.

The atmosphere is warm; you settle in and let the day's suggestions guide you.

Why go: Cave a manger: small share plates and good wines in a cosy end-of-day atmosphere; perfect for aperitif—tables go fast in the evening.

Bertrand Larcher's brand — a Breton in love with Japan — has elevated the galette to gourmet status. Here in Batignolles, you'll find the same exacting standards: buckwheat flour from a Breton mill, thoughtful toppings (Basque chorizo, Italian truffle, raw-milk raclette) and a fine-grocery corner stocked with the best ciders from Brittany. The large communal table at the entrance sets the tone: convivial, sincere, seasonal.

Why go: Perfect if you want a top-quality galette in a polished setting, for lunch or dinner.

Good to know: Great if you like cider—ask for a cider/galette pairing based on your taste.

On arrival, you receive a passport that guides your tasting through more than 30 house preparations. Try the Petrichor, a cocktail that evokes the smell of rain, or the Coral served in a sea-urchin-shaped glass with shochu and sake. Exotic-inflected tapas round out the experience.

Chef Franck Baranger, trained at Le Bristol, has turned this 9th-arrondissement neo-bistro into a reliable fixture of Parisian bistronomie — named best bistro of the year by the Guide Lebey in 2014. Onion tartine, confit egg, thyme-lard emulsion: the plates are modern and masterful, the 23-euro lunch menu offers rare value for money, and the naturally lit room with its wooden tables gives the feel of a true neighbourhood bistro.

Why go: Great for a quality dinner without going too formal.

Good to know: Reservations recommended for prime dinner hours.

A hyper-local neo-bistro near Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, run by chef Jeremy Grosdidier (ex-Jules Verne, Plaza Athenee) and Michelle Primc. Here, everything is sourced from short supply chains — even the misshapen vegetables make the cut — and elevated through smoking, infusion and fermentation. The mushroom tart with tonka mousse and toasted hazelnuts is a must, and the lunch menu between 18 and 25 euros is a little gem of value for money.

Why go: Great for a relaxed dinner that still feels special.
