This is the second address in Paris after Lolo Cave à manger, down my house. Beautiful set up, amaaaazing food and quality natural wine. I’m in love with that place, I feel everything is perfect I just love it! Lolo will make you cosy. 

Fancy a cool outdoor place outside of Paris with good food and natural wine? Head to Kiosque Contours in Clichy. Former Machine du Moulin Rouge artistic director Marc Resplandy brought that cool place to life, with chef residencies, and good music!

If you fancy good food, natural wine and a nice listening session, head to Bambino. They have a beautiful and really good sound-system and fantastic music library.

For the natural wine lovers like me, this is a great wine shop located between 2 of the best restaurants in Paris Le Dauphin & La Chateaubriand.

This is a treat you have to give yourself. The chef Daniel Morgan is absolutely incredible. If you’re looking for incrediiiiiibly good food you won’t regret it. It’s a menu but really worth it and great natural wine. Book in advance it’s always full!

That is another cool natural wine address located. Ask for Alex, he’ll take care of you!

I’ll start my journey in Paris with music. That’s really important in a trip, it gives the tone of the city I feel. Dizonord is a cool record store that has a lot of rare records. They have an address in Paris and Marseille too.

I kind of was born there as a DJ, so this is a very important place in Paris where all the French underground scene of France gathers. It’s also a community and a family place :) 


That’s another one I often like to dig, I know Blaise who's been running the shop for a year and he also has good stories about the records to share. They are specialized into electronic music and more specifically Detroit influenced, but also get the cool new releases.


When it comes to clubbing I often go there, they have a very accurate and interesting programming and I did my first gig in a big club there actually :)

We all love to do some shopping, especially in Paris. I love to dress up and style myself but with Climate change I try more and more to buy sustainable clothing and Snow Bunny is the place for cool vintage. Victoria the owner is the queen of fashion and knows her thing. Every creative mind of Paris kind of dress up there. There’s always an unexpected piece you’ll fall in love with.


That’s a bit of my HQ, they opened a year ago and it feels like an Oasis of calm in the craziness of Paris. I do my sport, sauna, brainstorms and meetings over there. Perfect place to treat yourself.

12 Spots in Paris You Need to Visit, Chosen By RONI

When I was younger, I worked as a receptionist. I took the opportunity to look at the exhibitions and that is where I discovered cinema culture. This place offers complete experiences around the seventh art with a cinema, a museum and a library dedicated to the seventh art. Being around cinema offers retrospectives and a vision of it that is not uniquely Western-influenced. As a self-taught artist, this place helped me a lot to consolidate my culture of cinema. I am starting a feature film project for the first time, and going to La Cinémathèque Française helps me a lot.

A place where you can find different maps of the world, old books and engravings dating from different centuries. It's fascinating to see how each one tells something of its time. The iconographic aspect is also interesting; many cards present various drawing techniques and colour palettes. A small shop full of curiosities with books from the floor to the ceiling.

IBKKI is a creative studio created by two designer friends, Azel and Youri, who work their pieces with artisans from the Kabylie mountains. To further immerse yourself in their world, they offer ceramic workshops to learn modelling techniques and tame colours. A great experience!

This museum is the former house and workshop of the sculptor Zadkine. I discovered it while skipping classes when I was at law school, which was on the same street. The permanent collection of sculptures presents works sculpted in different materials: wood, stone, earth, etc. The entrances of natural light enhance these different works. The garden is also very pretty, a beautiful place to read and write… or skip classes.

One of the most inspiring places in Paris in my opinion, much more than a store.  It is a real place of life that celebrates African cultures with contemporary accuracy and always with authenticity. The vision and cutting-edge aesthetic of the founder, Youssouf Fofana, makes it a unique space. There, you will find rare and inspiring works and design objects. Maison Château Rouge, through its prestigious collaborations, has contributed to making the African district of Paris shine throughout the world, and makes an entire generation of young Parisians proud.

I enjoy going there to continue to deepen, in an artistic and playful way, the little knowledge I have about architecture. Numerous exhibitions allow you to understand the architectural dynamics of Paris and its metropolises.

The best stand-ups from Paris and the world go through there. The Sarfati is more than a comedy club, it was thought of as a work of art, imagined and created by the stand-up comedy artist Fary (one of the GQ Men of the Year 2023 – congrats bro!). The main room is notably designed by JR. So you can laugh, chill and eat there with a very good menu curated by chef Freddy’s Kitchen.

A beautiful tea room which, to be honest, was one of my best date spots, but since dates have been rare in my life for a while (sniff sniff), this place ultimately became one of my favourite spots to work. The immersion in Iranian culture is complete – from the decoration to the dishes and drinks offered there.

If you want to learn more about Swedish art, go for it. If you want to eat good Swedish pastries, go for it. I go there mainly for one of these two reasons. I won’t say which one in order to preserve my “museum culture credibility”.

A contemporary theatre at the edge of the Canal de l’Ourcq, which offers quite curious performances. I don't always appreciate the programming, but it always leads to reflection and submits original proposals. I like going there to see things that take me out of my comfort zone.

Where to Dine Out in Paris with Silencios' Guillaume Sanchez

Uèle Lamore

My little secret here! This library always has crazy sales on beautiful artbooks. I when I mean crazy I mean a book that was 100 euros is now 10 euros. Thanks to this shop my apartment is full of fancy books that make me look really smart.

This venue is actually inside a peniche boat located in one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Paris. I discovered so many indie bands there, such as one of my favourite groups: Kikagaku Moyo. 

This place is both a venue and a bar. It has a really laid-back atmosphere and there is always some kind of exhibition going on at the same time. You can have drinks at the bar, eat something nice and then go see a show all at once. Great during daytime as well to relax!

I'm a big cocktail drinker, and one you talk of cocktail bars, one might imagine this sterile, quiet, super stuck-up spot. Well, first time I went to Blue Bird I thought I had entered a crazy town (in a good way), it has this 70's retro western feel to it. The atmosphere is really exciting and the bartenders are some of the funniest people I know. Go there past 9pm for some action!

Another bookstore located between the Marais and Republique neighbourhoods. They have a big selection of indie magazines, and rare books. Pro tip: you can negotiate the prices depending on what you are buying!

Paris is all about chilling and the Coulee Verte is made just for that. It is an abandoned system of train tracks that circle the city and have been rehabilitated as a walking spot. There are many entrances all over the town to access it, I recommend getting to the tracks by the Bastille entrance and walking all the way to Bercy.

If you ever want to buy an instrument, head to this historical street located in Pigalle where all the shops of vintage and new gear are. From synths to guitar pedals, there is a shop for everything.

A Guide to Parisian Culture with Uèle Lamore

She describes herself as a sassy club in the 6th arrondissement around Saint-Germain-des-Près. Pretty new to the scene but hosts a lot of parties during fashion week. Interesting people to look at, music varies every night so can match anybody’s music taste. Might get a little hot and sweaty but we love it!

There's not much time since we’re running around, so a delicious, filling sandwich is my go to. Can be eaten on the go. They have veggie versions, some with fish but my go to is the roast beef one – it’s to die for! Also you've got to get the crumble, it’s a must!

If you have time to sit and have a nice dinner, this spot is my absolute favourite. It’s a hidden tapas restaurant in the back of a cute alley. They have the most delicious natural wine selection and the food is incredible. Amazing to share with your friends that you only get to see during fashion week. Make sure to make a reservation ASAP!

Need a coffee or matcha break? This is the perfect spot. It’s owned by a Japanese couple. They make amazing coffee but my go to is their iced houjicha latte. It’s a perfect pick-me-up with one of the cakes that they make everyday. I personally like their lemon glaze cake or their scones. Might be a little crowded to sit but you can walk around and sit at a nearby park!

This spot has been a Paris girl favourite lately. They sell the cutest and well curated vintage pieces, and they also started making their own clothes which are actually so cute and great quality. They restock quite often, so if you go in the chances of you coming out with something you love are very high.

You might already know this spot but if one night you feel like dressing up and being fancy, this is the place to go. Getting a drink surrounded by red velvet and dim lights is always a vibe, whether it’s with friends or why not a date?! If you’re feeling a little peckish and have a sweet tooth, definitely get the pavlova – it’s delicious!

5 Natural Wine Bars You Need to Visit in Paris 

Lazare Hoche

This is the symbol of my current area - the 9th district of Paris. Originally opened in 1879, the biggest renovation took place in 1926; the magnificent gold Art Deco 'bas-relief' reflects the sun on surrounding streets. This theatre also hosted one of my favorite TV Shows from the 90’s called “double jeu”.

Known more as 'Colonnes de Buren'. A highly controversial art installation created by French artist, Daniel Buren in 1985–1986. It’s found in the inner courtyard (Cour d'Honneur) of the Palais Royal in Paris, France. Unusual sight in the city

The Lebanese restaurant of my aunt - featured in the guide michelin - is a family food display, with generous portions, a warm atmosphere and a lot of personality. Located in a very random and residential area, this place is not the usual tourist trap; it's a secret weapon. It's what we love best - Lebanese gastronomy.

Back in the 9th district of Paris, very few people know that there's a Tunisian food scene here. I’m obviously from Lebanon, but Tunisian food is kind of a non-hidden love affair. Some of them, open since the 70’s, are still going and proud. La Boule Rouge has got it all. A true favorite of all the kemia enthusiasts and couscous nerds. The homemade tuna meshouia is the real deal here. No fancy vibes here or “wanna-be hipsters”, but a very comfortable family feeling as soon as you enter the place.

For record shops, it's pretty much around the center-east side of Paris, where you will find all types of stores, with great selections. My favorite one is this one; Melik, the owner, is one of the finest listeners and selectors of the city.

This is a cultural explosion in Paris. It's thrown on a Thursday night in the infamous Pigalle area. It’s an extension of all your fantasies at once; curated by the mighty DJ Dorion. The vibe is mind blowing, the music selection and people are eclectic, the performers and the show are authentic and fine-tuned.

Legend is the party of DJ Deep in Paris since 1997. It's the purest NYC House vibe you can get in Europe. This shot is the infamous, Kerri Chandler, doing what he does best in Rex in August 2019.

Paris with DJ, Lazare Hoche

I've been captivated by Nate's unique vibe for quite some time now. He effortlessly blends streetwear, elegance, and music, creating a distinctive style that is truly on of a kind. Not only is he a talented fashion label owner, but he is also a club and restaurant owner in LA and MTRL. Make sure you don't miss out on his pop-up events and crazy parties with Kevin Rosa and his team during SS24, where you'll encounter some of the best faces in the fashion world.

Wild and the Moon is not just your average vegan restaurant - it's a haven of coolness and taste nestled in one of the trendiest areas of Paris. I can't get enough of their delightful kid smoothies and the iconic Hollyweed drinks - they're like my personal Madeleine de Proust!

Their journey of collaboration began with a groundbreaking partnership alongside Virgil back in 2017, and ever since, this story has been a non-stop adventure. This vegan temple of hype has continued to captivate the fashion world by collaborating with renowned names like Sacai, Ami, and Saint Laurent during every fashion week.

And guess what? We're in for a treat at iRL! Get ready to witness an exclusive collaboration between Wild and the Moon and the creative minds of Alexi Pavlov and Romain Regnier. 

Discover the coolest and most delightful restaurant in Paris right now. This hidden gem offers a unique twist on traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. With their innovative approach, they have even collaborated with top brands like Adidas and DSM to create the coolest merch. Don't miss the chance to grab a stylish tee and indulge in their mouthwatering Kottu Roti dish. Experience the perfect blend of flavors and culture at this extraordinary dining spot. 

Imagine this: 7 years ago, right in front of my offices, Elmer opened its doors and quickly became the go-to spot for Parisian gastronomy. This place is all about sharing incredible food and creating a great atmosphere. I love to savor delectable cuts of meat and fish, perfectly cooked on the rotisserie and over a crackling wood fire. And let's not forget about the wine! Elmer boasts an impressive selection of outstanding bottles that will impress wine connoisseurs from all walks of life.

Best bookstore and magazine stores where you can find rarities in magazines an books and prints.

 As the co-founder of the Next Door in 2018 (exited in 2021), I can confidently say there is no better place in Paris to shoot the best labels, from streetwear to high-end designers. I may be biased, but The Next Door selection is simply unparalleled.

On the 23rd of June, don't miss the opportunity to visit DSM at 35-37 Rue des Francs Bourgeois for an extraordinary experience.

Where to Go in Paris Fashion Week with Olivier Migda

Diadié Diombana

Red House is a great studio space to rent if you’re into music and the arts. I know a lot of artists in the music industry, so I heard about it from some friends. The materials and the furniture are incredibly [well] designed – the whole space is really specific, unique and modern. Every single room has been thought through well which gives it a calm and inspiring energy [in which] to create.

MCR is located in Château Rouge in the 18, which is a place with a big community of West African people, so it’s a big shout-out to African culture. This place helps to reconnect with my origins through their choice of traditional fabrics and materials, whilst in the meantime staying modern and progressive.

This place is special because of my friendship with the owners – make sure to ask for Crislaine! Cheval D’or has a long story about being the same restaurant for a long time. It still looks the same in places; you can see the outside still has the bright lit signage of its previous occupant left unchanged. If you want to spend a good time in a restaurant without too much “chichis” and want great food, good ambience, good service – you have to go. I would always recommend going on a Sunday.

Le Servan is the spot to go to if you’d like a romantic date or maybe with someone from your family. The architecture has a real pleasant Parisian style and the menu always changes as they only work with seasonal products. I recommend trying everything – it’s always delicious!

Discover Paris with Diadié Diombana

We are a Parisian music label, good wine is essential to our work. You’ll find that here.

We love this wine bar with a diverse and musical crowd. Unexpected nights here have led to some of the most exciting music collabs in Paris.

This is a special place to take visiting artists. It’s a speakeasy bar that uses screens to imitate an actual busy train snaking through the Indian countryside, with passengers hopping off and on. Disorienting in the best way! Great cocktails and tapas.

One of our favourite places to catch up on music and unwind off-hours. You’ll always run into someone working in the music scene here.

A great industrial-style bar where you’ll find conversations flowing on music, politics and culture. Gives Berlin vibes.

A floating café and botanical library. Our favourite escape to, surprisingly, turn off the music, chill out and read.

An absolute hidden gem! We look forward to any excuse to pop in this restaurant for excellent Armenian food that doesn’t break the bank. A constant temptation just around the corner from our office.

We love the natural wines and ever-changing menu at Des Terres, where they are passionate about engaging.

This is one of our favourite Chinese restaurants in Paris. The plates and drinks endlessly move overhead, and it’s hard to not 'over order'. A must-visit for authentic vibes, hot delicious food and pure satisfaction.

A Guide on Where to Eat and Drink in Paris by InFiné

Argenteurs

This neighbourhood bistro is a veritable jewel, a place like few others in Paris. You'll find everything you need in a bar: a counter, regulars sharing laughter and conversation in an unpretentious, friendly atmosphere. Marie, the owner, is a strong-willed woman who has been running the place for over 25 years, never letting herself be influenced by trends.

Forget trendy bars and Instagrammers. Here, we stay true to the spirit of true Parisian bistros, a little old-fashioned, where every evening becomes a moment out of time. It's a place where you always feel welcome, where you can spend hours chatting over a drink, sometimes well into the night. Closing time depends on the mood of the evening. Nothing's planned, it all depends on the rhythm of the conviviality.

Housed in an old disused railway station, this atypical venue brilliantly blends the raw industrial ambience with the warmth of live music.

La Gare is a temple for jazz lovers. Every week, the venue is transformed into a vibrant stage where emerging talents and established musicians meet. Once night falls, the Gare transforms into the Gore, giving way to electro evenings where DJs and experimental artists take over, offering an intimate and eclectic atmosphere.

With its subdued lighting, rough walls and resolutely underground spirit, La Gare / Le Gore is a Parisian jewel where music and conviviality meet in a setting unlike any other. An address not to be missed for the curious in search of good vibes and new discoveries.

If you're looking for a place to kick a basketball right in the heart of Paris, look no further than the Playground at Village Saint-Paul. This little basketball court hidden away in this bucolic micro-neighborhood is a wonderful playground, where you can take on the locals in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The place is ideal for a game with friends or even to meet other enthusiasts.

Village Saint-Paul is the perfect place for a stroll. Its typically Parisian architecture, with cobbled streets and charming little squares, creates a soothing atmosphere, strangely far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you'd like to take a breather from all the Parisian euphoria, we highly recommend a visit to La Recyclerie. Housed in a disused railway station in northern Paris, this eco-responsible canteen is much more than just a café. It's a place for living, meeting and inspiration, combining a plant-based atmosphere, a recycled furniture workshop and a view of an urban garden laid out on the disused tracks. It's the perfect place to relax, exchange ideas and get inspired, in a space that's full of positive energy.

A mythical flea market where time seems to stand still. It's an eclectic mix of vintage treasures, unlikely antiques and one-off pieces. It's also a place
where you can meet colourful personalities who contribute to the vibrant soul of this space. One example is Albert de Paname, a multi-talented artist who embodies the bohemian spirit of the Puces. And don't miss Jeff French Vintage, with its incredible stock of vintage clothing. 

Whether you're looking for a weathered leather jacket or an accessory that tells a story, you're bound to find what you're looking for.

The Maison de Balzac is a real hidden gem. Located in the 16e arrondissement, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Paris, this house-museum is a haven of peace steeped in history.

It was here that the writer lived and worked on some of his most famous works, including La Comédie Humaine. As you stroll through the carefully preserved rooms, you'll discover manuscripts, personal objects and anecdotes that plunge you into the world of one of France's greatest authors.

The garden, with its breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, is a real favourite. It's  for a contemplative break, where the mind escapes both into history and the beauty of the present moment. Maison de Balzac is a timeless interlude, a place where you can reconnect with art and history in a unique setting.

We couldn't end without recommending a culinary destination - after all, we're in France! À Mi-chemin means “halfway” in French. This restaurant is where Tunisian and Breton cuisine meet, thanks to a love between two chefs.

It offers an audacious menu with dishes that surprise as much as they delight. Each dish, like their lobster couscous, strikes the perfect balance between French tradition and Tunisian influences, with a precision that borders on the flawless and a generosity that we love. The atmosphere is simple, with no fuss, and you immediately feel comfortable, enhanced by the warmth and kindness of the owners. A moment to be shared, savoured and repeated. Simple, authentic and terribly effective.

Jazz in a Disused Train Station: Hidden Gems During Paris Fashion Week with Argenteurs

Nestled in the heart of Château Rouge, a predominantly African neighbourhood, you will fall in love with House Château Rouge. They design everything themselves, from backpacks and T-shirts to Bissap and Air Jordans from a recent Nike collaboration. The brand empowers artists from across the African continent and is challenging the perception of traditional ‘luxury’.

A regular spot for our Parisian community. L'embuscade serves up some of the most delicious Afro Vegan food. Inspired by West and central Africa, with some hints of Soul Food, L'embuscade serves up an Afro Vegan menu unlike no other. Everything takes good, but our favourite dishes are the Kentucky Fried Cauliflower and Doudou Jack Burger. The prices are low and affordable.

Mama Jackson is located near Paris’ Gare de Lyon train station and is an all around ode to Black American culture. From the music playing over the speakers to the art hanging on the walls. Go there to eat some seriously tasty fried chicken - we recommended trying the Waffle Rasta Burger which is a delicious stack of fried and pulled chicken with plantain.

Présence Africaine is a pan-African quarterly cultural, political, and literary magazine, published in Paris, France, and founded by Alioune Diop in 1947. In 1949, they expanded to include a publishing house and a bookstore on rue des Écoles in the Latin Quarter of Paris, which has a multitude of incredible books centred around race and colonialism to (un)learn from.

GUMBO YAYA is a Southern American inspired halal restaurant in Paris. Serving up some of the best halal fried chicken in Paris, this restaurant is known and loved by Parisians and visitors alike.

Jah Jah by Le Tricycle serves vegan cuisine but not only. You can also taste Jamaican flavors matching the two Rastafari founders, Coralie Jouhier and Daqui Gomis. Jah Jah gets inspired by the world as a whole and makes your taste buds travel across the world.

Long-stewed and spicy Caribbean, Creole and Cajun dishes. You can stay up late and dance here too.

Silwet is a sustainable slow fashion label which focuses on “silhouettes” instead of collections. “Silwet” is the Creole transcription of the French word “silhouette”. The name was chosen in tribute to founder Lenny Guerrier’s, Haitian roots.

Baba Zulu is an incredible soul food restaurant. Order the Chicken and Waffles!

One of the best nail salon's in Paris for nail art.

D3MOR

This is my favourite place to dig new sounds and refresh my ears! A lot of my all-time favourite music comes from this place!

Balades Sonores is an indie record store in the beautiful area of le 18eme next to Le Sacré Coeur monument. I love the small committee concerts they do! Also a lot of my vinyl collection comes from this place!

One of the best clubs in Paris. This is where we organise most of our parties. High-quality line-ups and lovely audience!

Open all week. Old train station transformed into a concert place hosting free entry jazz concerts and jams from 9pm to midnight. Then club from midnight to 6am. This is your place if you want to party until dawn on Monday night!

Old factory renovated to a community art place where you can find exhibitions, concerts and dance classes. There’s also two of my favourite art bookstores: L'Arabesque and Kiblind.

Old train station renovated to an urban farm, hosting eco-responsible workshops and music events. Also the best place to have a brunch with local, modern food and beverages.

This is my go-to place to meet friends. BBP is a bar offering over 20 types of craft beers.

Great place to share with friends. [Try a] Chinese dish from the Sichuan region called Málà Xiangguo, which means “spicy fragrant pot that tingles the palate”.

One of my secret places in Paris. A little Tunisian street food restaurant. I recommend ordering a kafta soufflé. Pure pleasure!

Lolo Zouaï

When I lived in Paris I kept missing American food culture, so I found this place called Holybelly, it’s a brunch spot and it’s so good

I really like to thrift. I actually bought my outfit for a festival on the day from here, because I had nothing to wear!

This is another food spot. The guy draws the menu and it’s also a really good brunch spot

If you love Japanese food this is where you want to go to eat REAL Japanese food! The Opéra Garnier building looks really huge and the area is full of more beautiful buildings. It's kinda fancy

The lights at night are really pretty and the Moulin Rouge is impressive. Best thing is you can get food and drinks whenever cause most of the shops are open 24/7

A cat café and their cheesecakes are so yummy! Only for the cat lovers though

Really nice way to spend a lovely sunny afternoon and watch the sunset. Buy wine if you really feeling that tourist lifestyle lol

Definitely one of my favourite place in the city, the view is amazing and the whole place looks so different from the rest of the city. You have to go here if you're in Paris

Arcade game centre, really fun if you love video games like me!

Crystal Murray 

La Créole has the best party there.It’s sweaty, and tiny. You can get crazy without even drinking alcohol because the energy is so raw.

A historic place to go dance, and feel an old glam / the chaos of the party.

A nice place to disconnect with the real world.

This is a new club that just opened and I feel like it’s gonna be crazy. 

Technically a bar; but some Monday nights, we get freaky.

A label that throw parties all around Paris - the location always changes, check out their Instagram 

When you’re in there, it is so tiny but every door opens to somewhere incredible. A maze.

The Best Clubs in Paris with Crystal Murray

Julien Jabre

Two of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Paris. I love the atmosphere at both places and everything is delicious. Their sobas are very tasty but delicate. Best tonkatsu sandwich at lunch on Saturdays at Abri.

The Japanese chef Takao Inazawa revisits classics from worldwide with a subtle touch of his own. His couscous is one of the best i’ve ever had. The co-owner, Benoit, will take care of your thirst with super pleasing confidential wines of his findings.

No reservations so be there early! Beautiful atmosphere to enjoy the best seafood brought to another level by Bertrand Grébaud from Septime. Share many tapas along with well picked white wines or saké.

Fantastic selection of wines for all kinds of budgets. Ask for Laure or Pierre-Marie to guide you and they will make you discover beautiful bottles. If you are looking for a delicious but affordable Champagne taste the Charles Hubert Blanc de Blanc.

A Lebanese institution where I feel at home. I have never had falafel this delicious outside of Lebanon and they are by far my no. 1 in Paris. Their kebbe labanieh (meatballs in hot yogurt) is amongst the best I’ve tasted. And a little karabije for dessert!

The historical boutique feels like time-traveling as it's the oldest chocolaterie in Paris. It’s very dangerous for my leaver to go there. All their chocolate bites are fabulous as well as their homemade black sesame ice cream, marzipan, chocolate nut spread…

Look out for the big lantern. I’m a big ramen eater and it’s my no. 1 broth in town. The miso ramen is the one to take at lunch, the shoyu at night (because it’s "lighter").

One of my canteens where super friendly Alexia and Flo cook tasty homemade veggie and not veggie meals. Also their bun sandwiches are incredibly tasty and fluffy, the "jambon Prince de Paris with comté" is my favourite. 

A take away ony for the best chicken with garlic shawarma or veggie shawarma. Their houmous and baba ghanouj are ones of my favourite in town.

After a good ramen in Saint Anne’s area, go to Telescope for a great espresso shot. And even if you’re stuffed, have a cookie…

Paris's Best Restaurants with Julien Jabre

Sylvere

The techno temple since the 90s, next to the Grand Rex of Paris. An excellent programme for techno lovers, bass music and more. This is where I recently did my 'EP3' release party alongside Ehua, Low Jack and Le Diouck.

Based in Pigalle, this is a massive club under the Moulin Rouge. From a DJ's point of view, for me, it's one of the best clubs in Paris. I love playing there, whether it's in the main room or the basement.

This club is located in Montreuil, just outside Paris. I couldn't fail to mention this club because it's where the official La Créole parties take place. Now there's also the Machine du Moulin Rouge. Let's face it, the sound system is far from exceptional, but events are cool and the atmosphere is nice – especially at La Créole nights.

One of the most underground clubs in Paris, this one is an old Gare station on Paris' periphery. The festival offers a cool and eclectic programme.

Finally, the famous club designed by David Lynch. The entry can be selective, the sound is pretty good and the design is worth a visit. This one is often the club where fashion week events take place.
