TAUSEND

Hard to get in to, and even harder to find, Tausend’s exclusivity has practically set itself up as a top nightspot from the get go. Find the iron door and sign marked ‘doorbell’ under the Paris-Moskau railway, get past the stiffly posted doorman, and you’re into a world of super swank rich kids, fashionistas, princesses and porn stars, all making full use of the reflective chrome, glass and mirrored surfaces, or reclining on black leather banquettes. The back hides an Asian and Ibero-American restaurant for the energy-deficient, serving late-night food after midnight to accompany the bar’s excellent cocktail list. Dress up, look sharp, and stay super, super late.
