The best taqueria in town

Tipple of choice: They have some of the best cocktails in Paris, but the Pisco Disco adorned with edible glitter is like a party in your mouth.

Word to the wise: The perfect hangover cure is the Saturday cocktail brunch between 12noon and 4pm.

If you find yourself suffering from French food fatigue, try one of the most buzzing restaurant openings in recent years. Chic-white-rustic kitchen meets exotic-colourful-kitsch Mexican in this blend of taco stand and cave-like cocktail bar.

You're unlikely to get a seat at the one table, so pull a stool up to the bar and watch the Mexican chef in the open kitchen make the best tacos and tostadas this side of the Rio Grande. After you've lined your stomach, head to the cocktail den where the real fun will start.
