Party Earth La Rotonde - Place Stalingrad Review
The Scene
La Rotonde in Paris' 19ème is a bar/brasserie/club & event space hidden inside an amazing historic building. Check out this ever-changing Paris spot at Party Earth.19eme, Paris –
Its gaping rotunda and centuries-old stone façade could easily be home to a museum – and in fact it used to be Louis XVI’s government customs house – but once through La Rotonde’s colonnaded entrance, patrons find themselves in a labyrinthine space that combines centuries of history with a series of multi-purpose drinking, dining, and event spaces.
The venue’s Bar du Coin (corner bar) offers a cozy café atmosphere for in-the-know couples looking to chill out with hearty sandwiches and frothy pints, while local office workers step inside the restaurant to lunch on traditional French fare with an international twist beneath the incredibly high-ceilinged rotunda.
Home to a calm and airy brasserie with simple modern furnishings and an open kitchen – not to mention an impressive wine and classic cocktails list – the rotunda entices creative types and moneyed professionals to sneak in some daytime drinking, while evenings attract a stylish crowd to the main dining room for a relaxed meal of salmon mousse or filet of duck.
Hipster music lovers show up later if du Coin has a small band playing – which it usually does – while the city’s fashionistas and young movers and shakers take advantage of weekend DJs and an ever-changing program of one-off shows throughout the rest of the venue that range from eclectic art-house performances to massive Ibiza-style dance parties.
Visitors never know what they might discover at La Rotonde: from calm and classy afternoons to bumping clubby evenings, it’s all under the round.
Tip from Adriana:
Sundays at La Rotonde are fabulous for a relaxed brunch, especially if you go for the monthly fashion event. Seriously, what could be better than a combination sample sale and brunch? Swallow your pre-judgments and head to this once shady corner of Paris – it’s well worth the trip.
