A sprawling 65sq m warehouse on the banks of Canal Saint-Martin, Le Comptoir Général bursts with exotic plants, shabby-chic velvet armchairs and string lanterns that hang from the building's unusually high ceilings (and are ripe for that perfectly moody Insta shot). Ideal for all manner of occasions - from its family-friendly Sunday brunch to evening cocktails and end-of-the-party nightcaps - Comptoir (as it's known to locals) was dreamed up by Aurélien Laffon as a place to transport visitors across continents. Be sure to explore the whole, glorious space, from the kitschy, 1950s-Hollywood-style bar to the main room's tropical Caribbean paradise and the patio's leafy Mediterranean-village feel.

If you're on the hunt for the ideal palm tree aesthetic, head to Alcazar. Strung with fronds of all kinds, this warmly lit green-and-white space will have you feeling like you've stepped into a sophisticated urban jungle. To check out the restaurant from above, head to the equally leafy upstairs bar (complete with a requisite neon-pink wall sign).
