Paris by night
Step into a world of inviting luxury - The Champagne Flute Bar
— Why not plan to shop the Champs-Élysées late afternoon and then retreat to the wonderfully, relaxing and decadent environment of the Champagne Flute Bar. Why? Because its Happy hour from 5pm till 8pm. The finest champagne in the world is grown in France and what could be better than to end the day than with a glass of Krug, Bollinger, Billecart-Salmon or a Veuve Clicquot accompanied with some Petrossian caviar or smoked salmon.
This cosy venue is the perfect spot to celebrate just being in Paris. Choose by the glass or if you prefer a cocktail, the barman is sure to know the latest groovy concoctions; if you feeling like something more substantial there's a choice of tasty appetizers.
Ensure that you have your own table by booking online their site below. Jazz fans should visit Wednesday evenings or for a more upbeat tempo, 'soirée avec' the Dj Fri & Sat. For those not sure which champagne to order, there's a degustation of 3 glasses for 19 euros.
Open Tuesday to Saturday 5pm till 2am.

Buddha Bar
— The restaurant/bar attracts a very BCBG crowd. After your 'haute' Asian cuisine, relax in the bar area. Yes, you can buy the music I think they have 10 CDs out now? Groovy but I think local Parisians have moved on to another venue, nonetheless if you want funky with your Asian cuisine!
