The Insider guide to... PARIS!















Paris is one of those Cities where the Parisians want to keep Paris to themselves especially the hot spots where all the cool in crowds feel part of a cult for knowing the very best places to eat, hang out and party until dawn. I send a variety of VIP's to Paris to be looked after each month and through doing so have compiled a list of what I regard as being the very best places to be going out to and below is feedback from some of my clients.
So let's begin.
The Trendy Restaurant/Bars :
Le Ralph's - One of the most popular, where you can be on a table right next to Marion Cottilard. Super crowded on week-ends. World Food.
Kong -very cool and nice place to go!
Le Murano Resort - The Hotel Murano's Restaurant, one of my favorites. Anytime to have dinner, take a drink or even brunch.
Le Meurice - The greatest Club-Sandwich of Paris ! But the place is a bit oldie
La Société - To see and be seen in the heart of Saint-Germains-Des-Près. Fusion World food.
Hotel Costes - Service is awfull, food is not bad but the place is really nice.
Café Chic - Nice music and cocktails, average food, over-crowded on week-ends. World Food.
La Cantine Du Faubourg - One of the well-known, food is not bad not good, atmosphere is nice on week-ends. World Food.
Le Bound - Centrally located on Avenue George V, food is good (Great Sushi's). Atmosphere is nice and I love their cocktails.
Restaurant L'Arc - Average food, nice place from where you can see the Arch on Place de L'étoile.
Pershing Hall - Awfull food but really nice atmosphere, better to take a drink than eat.
L'Avenue - Only for lunch, to see and be seen on the famous Avenue Montaigne right in front of the Chanel boutique.
Brunch in style
Café de Flore - One of the Oldies and well known.
Le Bon - By Philippe Starck with really nice Thaï fusion food.
Au Pain Quotidien - Greatest breads.
Cofee Parisien - Greatest Burgers ,super crowded on sundays.
Café Baci - The atmosphere is nice, the food average.
Insiders addresses
Le Colimaçon - I just LOVE their menu, just meat so not for vegetarian people ! Everything I tested was perfect, only 20 tables.
Chéri Bibi - Super friendly, always crowded with Parisian "Bobos". Every third monday of the month, an invited friend of the chef cooks for 80 people for only 10€ but you can only get in with a member...
Café Salle Pleyel - Place is nice and the cheesburger is amazing.
Le Derrière - The atmosphere is unique in Paris, mixing modern art and food.
Marius et Jeannette - Greatest Fish restaurant of the city. A bit oldie.
Zero De Conduit -People drink from babies bottles
The hottest Clubs right now (In order & dependant on night)
Raspoutine -The place everyone wants to be seen at, few receive the privilege
L'Arc - Thursday's, friday's and saturday's. Over crowded on week-ends, super friendly staff with Benjamin Artis at it heads. Booking NEEDED but not sure to get in if JB at the entrance doesn't know you. THE place to BE.
Bagatelle's -The summer must place to be seen!  
VIP ROOM - Only for special events with artists but the music by Dj Law is always nice.
Black Calvados (BC) - Tuesdays and after parties, nice for a drink on the upper floor.
Neo - On Thursday's for "Le jeudi c'est le jeudi".
Queen - Only on monday's (Disco Queen) and Wednesday's (Ladies Night)
Sens - depeding on nights can be great or awfull.
Cab - Always nice to be welcomed with Trinu's (ex top model) smile only on thursday's.
BC -After 3am this is the place to go and be seen! 
Late food at L'Aubrac (only meat) or l'Alsace.
Apologies if I have missed anything out but with this list, you should experience Paris in utter style and class.
