Scilicet

Top choice in Paris


An elongated stone archway houses this hidden riverside bar, with digital light displays projected on the ceiling, and DJs spinning from 8pm nightly in summer and regularly through the rest of the year. Its greatest asset, though, is its sprawling Seine-side terrace, with front-row views of quintessential Parisian landmarks like the turreted Conciergerie and Eiffel Tower, spectacularly illuminated at night.

Along with craft beers, natural wines and house cocktails like In Seine (Champagne, absinthe, ginger syrup and fresh mint), it has small tapas-style plates such as trout croquettes and chargrilled duck skewers.
