Le Perchoir

Top choice in Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville

LoginSave

Sunset is the best time to hit this iconic, 7th-floor bar for drinks overlooking Paris' rooftops and – on Saturday night – on-trend DJ sets. Greenery provides shade in summer and in winter the bar is covered by a sail-like canopy and warmed by burning fires in metal drums. Search out the bar entrance, hidden in an inner courtyard (take the lift or spiralling staircase).

Great cocktails include Beale Street (JD, San Pellegrino Limonata and cherry juice) and Suzebucker (gin, absinthe, lemon juice and ginger ale). Watch also for a trendy new dining spot to open here in spring 2020, hot on the heels of wildly successful, ephemeral neobistro Tontine by itinerant Franco-Vietnamese chef Céline Pham.
