Newcomer Au Top is the most recent rooftop addition in the bobo neighborhood of Le Marais. Coveted seats at the new gem are reservations-only, opening up a panoramic view of the city to be enjoyed with some hefty cocktails and an open kitchen.

Unlike the other neighborhood rooftop, Le Perchoir Marais, known for long lines and strict bouncers, this location is quite discreet. You walk through a garage door and to the very back of a square where an elevator to the fifth floor awaits. Down a hall of wine and up one more staircase, you’ve arrived au top.

Decoration is clean and minimalist. Black stools line the straight bar with a single shelf lining accessorized by a single deconstructed palm tree-shaped lamp. During winter, the bar is tented and kept warm. The open-plan kitchen is one of the main attractions. Unless served raw, everything else is grilled. Prime rib, smoked tuna, or grilled sea bass are shareable main course dishes wrapped up with a roasted pineapple dessert. The menu changes often, but expect to spend about 30 euros for a main.
