In the newletter of Do it Paris I read about Candeleria and it seems great.

“Candeleria, the bar to go to on our evening out
When it comes to a trendy night on the town, la Candelaria is the absolute must with the huge advantage of mixing price and baba-glam spirit. It’s just like being in a hot spot of Los Angeles .

The idea? Sipping a Margarita and other great cocktails lounging in organic wool armchairs, by candle light.

The must ? Tasting the collective punch with cachaça, sloe gin, rosemary, lemon, grapefruit and champagne. (48 €)

We adore… The « clandestine » side of the place just like in New-York. The bar is hidden behind the tacos canteen that gives onto the street.

Impossible to guess from the street that you are in front of ‘the spot to be ». You need to be like the other trendies here, an insider night owl.

Orphée et Eurydice at Opéra Garnier

Orphée et Eurydice brings flesh and blood to Gluck’s score and creates a permanent dialogue between song and dance dividing each of the main roles in two. Beyond the mythological tale itself, the ballet evokes the fragility of the human condition and plunges into painful introspection. The choreography of Pina Baush made this ballet worldknown.

Starting 4th of February till 16th.

Discover a unique place conceived by the architect Odile Decq in the heart of the Palais Garnier. A mezzanine made of amazing shapes surrounds the original architecture of the Palais Garnier without ever touching it. The design is special, yet a big contrast with the classic Palais Garnier. But it matches, no doubt about that. The chef is Yann Tanneau who makes great dishes.

“We went to this restaurant a few days ago just for one course and came out with a big smile on our faces.

After we ordered our food we got an appetizer. It was a bisque of langoustine with whipped cream on it and ciboulette.It was exceptionally good and tasted like more.
The wine and the meal were very professionaly served. I had young leek with a poached egg and some really good sauces. My mother got scallops with an espuma. My father got carpaccio of langoustines with a fresh salad. I’m not really a fish eater but the dishes of my parents were really good but I loved my dish the most. I’m a vegetarian and my dish was like heaven for me.
When we went out I had a very big smile on my face and I was asking my parents to come back for a whole menu.”
