In Paris, behind the discreet gates on Frochot Street, a mythical venue opens its doors. The Cabaret Restaurant, housed in a sumptuous 19th-century townhouse, invites Parisians and curious visitors to a one-of-a-kind experience that blends cuisine and show. Opened in 2025 after extensive restoration, this singular spot revives the bohemian, festive spirit of Pigalle while tracing more than a century of artistic and nightlife history. Nestled at 2 rue Frochot in the 9th arrondissement, it blends memory, elegance and a hushed, intimate atmosphere. A discreet address to (re)discover without delay.
This extraordinary place is for all lovers of beautiful stories, fine dining, and intimate atmospheres. Ideal for an evening with friends, a romantic date, or an original cultural outing, it will appeal as much to Parisians in search of something exceptional as to tourists fond of secret addresses.
A festive dinner in a setting steeped in history
The concept? A festive dinner thatcelebrates the marriage of culinary refinement and artistic creation.
Each evening is a timeless interlude, punctuated by artistic performances, live music, and fine cuisine served at your table. The smooth and elegant service accompanies a creative menu where the dishes are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. All this in a subdued atmosphere, punctuated by laughter, applause... and surprises.
Here, rediscover the taste of French gastronomy servedon elegant tableware that enhances the elegance of the moment. Inspired by the festive spirit of Montmartre and the banquets of yesteryear, the chef has created a seasonal menu where the ingredients reign supreme and pleasure is essential. A veritable feast of flavors, where refinement is never synonymous with rigidity, but with generosity and emotion.
The constantly evolving program showcases a diverse artistic scene:
Every visit to Cabaret Restaurant is a one-of-a-kind experience, crafted as an immersive and sensory journey.
The place itself is a character. The entrance, marked by a stained-glass window inspired by Hokusai, sets the tone: you are entering a world apart. The building, constructed in 1837, has had a thousand lives: a Chinese cabaret called Le Shanghai in the Roaring Twenties, an avant-garde theater in the 1950s, a gaming club, and then a reception hall. Each era has left its mark, both in the details of the decor and in the atmosphere.
If the walls could talk, they would undoubtedly play notes of gypsy jazz. The great Django Reinhardt lived here, at 2 rue Frochot, in the 1940s. He composed, rehearsed, and offered passersby magical moments, guitar in hand, windows open to the Parisian night. A commemorative plaque pays tribute to this legend, adding a touch of emotion to the place.
The Cabaret Restaurant is therefore continuing this artistic tradition, while bringing a breath of fresh air. It's not about reviving the past, but about bringing history to life in the present.
It is a place steeped in emotion, art, and life. Because it is hidden in a secret alleyway inthe 9th arrondissement, where the Paris of artists has never disappeared. And above all, because when you walk through this door, you too become part of its history. Let yourself be carried away.
