On the banks of Canal St-Martin in a former fire station and later squat, this arts and music venue attracts an underground crowd for concerts, dance nights and art exhibitions. Its restaurant, Selma Pastels, fuses Afro American Caribbean flavours in its fusion kitchen (mains €9.50) and the hip rooftop bar, Le Top, buzzes with activity in fine weather.
