THE RESTAURANT, ROOFTOP BAR AND MIKADO DANCING
The Hôtel Rochechouart invites guests to a world of enchanting experiences. Their restaurant, with its gleaming red doors and touches of gold, welcomes visitors with warm lantern lights. As you step inside, the Rochechouart transports you to a bygone era, to a Paris of the 1930s where champagne flowed and fresh local produce was the basis for delectable cuisine, served at cloth-covered tables surrounded by comfortable banquettes. The wine list is curated to accompany the menu, offering a selection of renowned vintages, artisanal producers, and natural wine appellations.
Nestled on the ninth floor, the rooftop bar offers a lush oasis with breathtaking views of Paris. Savour a homemade cocktail while taking in the stunning vista of the Sacré Coeur Basilica or the iconic Eiffel Tower. The bar's menu is as enticing as its surroundings, with a distinct Parisian flair and blooming greenery, surrounded by benches and wrought iron tables.
Finally, the Mikado dancing hall, a recent addition to the Hôtel Rochechouart, is a hidden world in the basement. This dimly lit space, aglow with golden lights and rich red curtains, is the epitome of love and life, exuding magic through music and dance. Restored to its former glory as a clandestine dance hall, the Mikado features a retro décor of carpets, plush sofas, and poufs, with a large Art Deco counter and velvet curtains. Under the disco balls, guests can dance the night away on the dance floor, surrounded by the ambiance of old opium bars. The Mikado is a music bar, a gathering place for artists, live performances, and DJ sets, and a celebration of life and love.
