On those warmer Parisian nights, a perfect evening involves grabbing a sizzling, hot pizza slice from Sonny's and tucking into it overlooking the Canal St Martin. Though, sitting in and absorbing Sonny's electrically good vibes in the industrial, rectangular box of a restaurant is also never a bad solution. Dimly-lit lighting, great music and a constant waft of wood-fired pizzas await. 

Relinquish control and let the tasting menu which changes daily define your destiny for the night. Think innovative and adventurous flavours, great natural wines to pair, and amazing ambiance. Le Châteaubriand is perfect for anyone who does not mind an unfussy, more chaotic dining experience. 

Entrée, plat, disco is the Saturday formula; here, the midi menu becomes an à la carte sharing plate occasion for post supper servings. Corrugated iron wall mounts line the walls and ceilings, record covers become the artworks and a stainless steel reflective bar becomes the glaring centerpiece. Oak-wood tables become chock-a-block with plates as the remarkably friendly small kitchen whips up sardines marinated in a whisky broth, laden onto smoked-ricotta smothered toasts. The "cheese of the moment" is an evening must. 

One of Paris' most cozy wine bars. We love their list of natural wines and amazing food options. Tip: do not skip out on the desserts!
