Where to eat

‘Daimant (20 rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, 21 place du Marché Saint-Honoré) is an elegant vegan restaurant that serves meals, desserts, and treats. Lit by candles, with an open kitchen, it has a very cozy and soothing atmosphere. At Sola (12 rue de l'Hôtel Colbert), according to Japanese tradition, you remove your shoes for an authentic experience. This sophisticated Japanese restaurant offers tasting menus with food and drink pairings. At Le Jourdain (101 rue des Couronnes), you can enjoy delicious Mediterranean tapas in a family atmosphere on a quiet street in Belleville.’ Juliette Amoros

‘Miss Kô (49-51 avenue George V) offers sushi with a twist to please European palates.’ Louise Matisse

‘Les Délices d'Aphrodite (4 rue de Candolle) is a Greek restaurant at the bottom of the famous rue Mouffetard. I recommend starting with a pikilia platter, which brings together all the cold appetizers, and ending the meal with a mahalépi, a milk cream with orange blossom and roasted pistachio. Les Rêveuses (15 rue Saint-Blaise) offers seasonal cuisine on a cobblestone pedestrian street seemingly from another era. I recommend the croque-monsieur, served with delicious fries, the salads and soups du jour.’ Blanche Meyzen

‘I love the decor and atmosphere of Restaurant Derrière (69 rue des Gravilliers), which is somewhere between a family home, chic flea market, and cabinet of curiosities. Each room has its own character, and you can find everything here: a ping-pong table in the entrance, leopard-print sheets in an outbuilding, a feather bed on the first floor – where you dine, obviously – and a closet that opens onto a smoking room populated with taxidermied animals... Caché (23 Villa Riberolle), true to its name, is nestled at the end of a cobblestone alley, housed in a former printers. Their raw fish dishes are to die for.’ Veronica Sammarini

‘I often go to Bambou (23 rue des Jeuneurs), a Thai fusion restaurant with sublime decor. The place is spacious and bright, with a lovely terrace during the day and a speakeasy in the basement for more intimate evenings. I return for their well-spiced chicken curry and their Chiang Mai Mule cocktail, which is delicately infused with green tea. Serpent à Plume (24 place des Vosges) is an adventure in itself. To gain access, you pass through a café, then a gallery, before descending into a vaulted basement that resembles a baroque cave. You dine, you dance, and you often stay much later than expected.’ Yasmin Sarnefors

Where to drink

‘La Cantine de la Cigale (124 boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart) is ideal for extending the evening with musicians after a concert.’ Juliette Colas

‘The renovated north wing of the Gare de Lyon brings together food stands, bars, art exhibitions, and cultural events in a large friendly venue. It includes Ground Control (81 rue du Charolais), an ideal spot for meeting up with friends. Located very close by, on the banks of the Seine, Le Barapapa (11 port de la Rapée) is the perfect place to share cocktails and listen to music in a relaxed atmosphere; you can sit and have a drink or dance, depending on your mood.' Alexis Laki

'As a wine lover, I adore Les Gouttes de Dieu (8 rue Rossini), a wine bar that takes its name from a cult Japanese manga. The selection is generous and refined, and fresh food is the perfect accompaniment to each tasting.' V. S.

Where to dance

‘At Andy Wahloo (69 rue des Gravilliers), the dancefloor is always on fire, the art collection is fabulous, and the cocktails excellent. You can sometimes find me at the turntables...To extend the night, head to La Fête (3 place de Clichy) to dance to songs we all know and love.’ J.C.

‘I love the ‘Chronologic – Reverse Edition’ nights at La Machine du Moulin Rouge (90 boulevard de Clichy): every hour, the decade changes, as the music shifts from what’s current to the 1970s. At Les Etoiles (61 rue du Château d’Eau), the musical programming is eclectic and it’s the ideal place to party the night away. Phantom Paris (8 boulevard de Bercy) is a nightclub located under the Accor Arena hotel, which holds electronic parties and hosts international DJs.’ B.M.

Where to catch the sunset

‘At the Belvédère de Belleville (27 rue Piat), without a doubt.’ J.A.

‘I recommend the Bar à Bulles (4 Cité Véron) on the roof of the Moulin Rouge, and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont (19th arrondissement) for a perfectly clear view.’ B.M.

Where to get coffee and a treat

‘La Boulangerie Méditérannéenne (73 boulevard de Courcelles) is quite simply the best bakery in the world for me. You can sit in and enjoy a generous pastry and a good coffee. My go-to: the chocolate babka and the khorasan bread.’ J.A.

‘Candle Kids Coffee (107 rue des Couronnes) is on a small square that gives the feeling of being far from the tumult of Paris.’ Floriane Bosc

‘My Saturday morning ritual: a perfect latte at Partisan Café Artisanal (36 rue de Turbigo) after my yoga class. The clientele is trendy and cosmopolitan, the place often very busy, but you can always find a spot. My guilty pleasure: the orange cake.’ V. S.

Where to shop

‘I like sending letters, so I love L’Écritoire Paris (26 passage Molière). In this stationery shop, you can find unique cards made by artists, stamps and vintage posters, and my favorite: seals. La Librairie Flora lit (18 rue Mouton-Duvernet) is my favorite bookstore. The feminist literature section is particularly comprehensive, and you can enjoy tea and a vegan pastry among the books.’ J.A.

‘Épices Rœllinger (51 bis rue Sainte-Anne) to find the perfect spices for your next recipe; Maison Béguin (9 rue Bréguet) a home decor shop with a selection of vintage and contemporary items, perfect for small gifts; and Marin Montagut (48 rue Madame) – a feast for the eyes, and their watercolors and stationery make great souvenirs of Paris.’ F.B.

‘Art gallery bookshops, the Saint-Ouen flea markets (Rue des Rosiers, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine), and the record store BABALUMA (72 bis rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud).’ J.C.

‘I’ve been passing Tschann (125 boulevard du Montparnasse) for more than 10 years, and somehow this bookstore has a comforting effect on me. The books are scattered about, and you’d think you were in someone’s library. There are evenings with readings followed by discussion. Spacious but intimate, Tschann is a sort of bubble in which the outside world is put on pause.’ L.M.

‘At the Voyageurs du Monde bookstore (55 rue Sainte-Anne), you can get lost in pages that take you to the four corners of the globe. I come here to be inspired and dream of elsewhere.’ V.S.
