China Club Cocktail bar, 50 rue de Charenton, 12th arrondissement, Paris France, 2007


With its aura of mystery and exoticism, this bar-restaurant oozes sophistication. Settle down in a comfortable leather armchair by the fire or relax in the smoking room upstairs, sipping on cocktails. At weekends, get swept along by foot-tapping jazz sessions in the basement. The restaurant's Chinese cuisine is complemented by the colonial decor, which provides the perfect surroundings for a special dinner with friends or romantic dinner for two. Try the house-speciality shrimp ravioli soup. Evoking 1930s Hong Kong, this favorite is still going strong, laughing at upstart new Asian restaurants, and serving some of the best Asian cuisine in Paris. The food is mainly Cantonese, prepared with flair. The menu is vast, with plenty of choices. Nearly everything is good, especially sautéed shrimp and calamari, Shanghai chicken, and red rice sautéed with vegetables. Before dinner, you might want to enjoy a drink in the upstairs smoking lounge. Downstairs, the Sing Song club has live music, including something called Sino-French jazz on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. low lighting chesterfield sofas glamorous inspired by Hong Kong China bar man serve pour cocktails short mix mixer atmosphere atmospheric sexy style styled interior design romance hushed calm relax meet drink swig alcohol alcoholic serene seductive inspire
