Don't have time for dinner before your show or play? Don't worry, many restaurants in Paris close late, allowing you to dine a little later than usual! We've put together a list of the best places to go after a cultural evening.

It's very hard to get bored in Paris, with the capital constantly offering new shows and plays to discover. Thanks to a number of good deals, it's not so expensive to attend a cultural performance these days, and sometimes you even feel like continuing the evening by going outfor dinner, but where to dine after 10 pm in Paris?

It's true that, like cities like London and New York, Paris doesn't have a huge number of restaurants open all night, or at least late into the evening. The capital is nevertheless fortunate to have a few addresses that will enable you to avoid the big fast-food chains after going to see a play or a show.
