Endroit (L') Paris, France

L'Endroit's sophisticated interior comes as a bit of a surprise - eye-catching horseshoe bar, speakers encased in Perspex, black leather seating and tasteful lighting provided by an array of unusually shaped, colorful lamps. A good place to come for a quiet drink, the bars certain je ne sais quoi makes it a favorite with the Batignolles district's in-crowd and although the menu isn't quite as inspired as the décor, you can still get great food, including Entrecôte-Frites (rib-steak and fries).
