Paris, After Hours: A Wishlist Guide to the City That Never Slows Down
Paris doesn’t chase trends. It creates them. From whispered dinners behind velvet curtains to sidewalk cafés where glances say more than words, the city runs on mood — and this edit captures all of it.
Here’s your Wishlist-approved guide to what matters in Paris: where to eat, where to party, where to sit and say nothing — and still feel like you belong.
People Watching
Because sometimes the best plans are just to sit, sip, and watch the city do its thing.
Jardin des Tuileries
Café Charlot – Effortlessly cool, always buzzing. A front-row seat to the Marais crowd.
Jardin des Tuileries – Sit by the fountain, wear oversized sunnies, and pretend you’re in a Nouvelle Vague film.
Le Nemours – Steps from Palais Royal. A local secret with a perfect corner terrace for mid-morning espresso and couture spotting.
Café de Flore – Still iconic. Still filled with writers, models, and the just-passing-through beautifully dressed.
La Palette – Artsy, lively, and perfect for early evening apéritifs.
Dining
Where the lighting is low, the flavors are bold, and the tables are set for nights that last.
Sushi Park Paris
Saint Laurent Sushi Park – Minimal, exclusive, and dripping in quiet luxury. Come for the sushi, stay for the mystery.
Septime – Refined, seasonal, and deserving of every whisper it gets. Book far in advance — and mean it.
Caviar Kaspia – The fashion week favorite. Potatoes, caviar, champagne. Need we say more?
Girafe – Eiffel Tower views, crisp linen tablecloths, and seafood worth dressing up for.
Clamato – Casual sibling to Septime. No reservations, but absolutely worth the wait.
Partying
From candlelit cabarets to rooftops with a beat — this is Paris when it stops pretending to sleep.
PACHAMAMA PARIS
Pachamama Paris – Wild, whimsical, and wrapped in Latin drama. Four floors, endless possibilities.
Boiler Room Paris – For those who know the scene. Raw, real, and always full of rhythm.
Silencio – David Lynch-designed and strictly members-only — unless you know someone. Dark, cinematic, unforgettable.
Le Marta (inside Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s) – An intimate rooftop with perfect lighting and just the right crowd.
Chez Moune – Red velvet, disco balls, and the kind of retro cool that never left Pigalle.
One to Remember
Something quietly unforgettable. The kind of night you’ll talk about next season.
Au Lapin Agile
Au Lapin Agile – A Montmartre cabaret soaked in history and candlelight. The opposite of trendy — and that's the point.
Atelier des Lumières – An immersive art experience that feels like a dream sequence. Van Gogh never looked so electric.
Dinner on the Seine (Ducasse sur Seine) – A floating, Michelin-level restaurant that redefines the idea of “dinner cruise.”
Midnight picnic at Square du Vert-Galant – If you know, you know. Grab a bottle, something flaky, and a blanket. The Seine does the rest.
In Paris, the best plans are the ones you didn’t plan. But it doesn’t hurt to have the right list.
