L'Arc Paris

L'Arc is the Paris Society room on the rue de Presbourg — the late dinner upstairs with the Arc de Triomphe in the front window, the club downstairs that runs from 23h until close, the rooftop terrace that takes the early evening drink. The combination is the right 16e answer for the dinner that wants to become the after without leaving the building.

Book the dinner at 21h on the upper floor, take the burrata and the daurade, move downstairs to the club at midnight. The door is the polished one — the 16e crowd does not let the dress code slip — and the music programme is the most consistent of the Paris Society late rooms.

The 16e dinner that becomes the long after.
