Restaurants, Bars & Nightlife near Hôtel R de Paris

An authentic Vietnamese canteen in the Sentier district, run by a couple from Hanoi, Michelin Bib Gourmand. You'll eat a Northern-style pho that's lightly salted and wonderfully digestible, crispy pork nems served with the famous house-made mam sauce, and a melt-in-your-mouth braised caramelised pork (thit kho). The sourcing is impeccable, and the small dining room fills up fast; book a few days ahead.

Why go: Perfect if you want something tasty but not too heavy, for lunch or dinner.

Good to know: Pho-style soups are a safe bet when you want a complete, comforting meal.

ROOF is the rooftop of the Hôtel Madame Rêve, right at the top of the former Poste du Louvre, 1,000 m2 suspended above Paris, with a spectacular view of Saint-Eustache, the Centre Pompidou and the Panthéon. Like a hanging garden in the sky, you sip signature cocktails over sharing plates with flavours from around the world. For a proper dinner, chef Benjamin Six's La Plume restaurant extends the experience, facing the Saint-Eustache church.

Why go: For a cocktail high above one of the most beautiful rooftops in central Paris, with a guaranteed panoramic view.

Good to know: A 5-star address with prices to match; booking is strongly recommended, especially in the evening and at weekends.
