You may not have heard of the Ménilmontant neighborhood yet, but you’ll want to spend an evening at Le Perchoir in east Paris. If the name sounds familiar it’s probably because the bar has multiple locations around the city, but this one seems to be the most popular among Parisians. The chic, open-air restaurant/bar is located on the 7th floor of an industrial building in the 11th arrondissement. It’s a place to see and be seen, so make sure to dress up. Hit up this Le Perchoir location for a young, fun-filled flirty summer night, grab a bite, and dance all night with your squad. Keep in mind if you arrive past 9:30 pm, be prepared to wait in line!

Mama Shelter is another hip rooftop with multiple locations, including Los Angeles, London, and Rio de Janeiro. The funky hotel’s rooftop bar is located in east Paris in the 20th arrondissement. If you’re into a more relaxed atmosphere, the Mama Shelter rooftop offers quirky decor, comfy couches with blankets to snuggle up on with a date, and games for entertainment like ping pong and foosball.

No need to dress fancy, but as with most other popular rooftops, there may be a line! Additionally, you’ll want to start the night a little earlier, as the rooftop closes at 11:30 pm. We recommend coming for dinner, as the pizza is supposed to be delicious!

The hotel bar is often frequented by the elite and the occasional celebrity (Kate Moss was spotted here), especially during fashion week, so make sure you dress a little nicer. It’s a smaller space, so if you’re going out with a group you likely want to make a reservation!
