Castel sur Paris

A former swingers' club, now riding the wave of its past notoriety, offers bistro-style cuisine and cocktails in a cozy, intimate, glamorous, and, shall we say, gourmet atmosphere 😏😉 The walls are covered in very explicit drawings, featuring personalities from the world of lust and photos recalling tantalizing scenes. Even the carpeting awakens a few organs well-known to the general public. The place remains quite cramped, spanning almost four floors including the nightclub in the basement. A fine Parisian institution that perfectly embodies the image of Paris in all its opulence and glory days.

It's still a private club, so it's a bit exclusive; the cocktails are great, but the restaurant is average considering the class of the place.

The atmosphere is unique and steeped in history, but the service and pricing are highly controversial. Long-time members are often treated poorly, and the security guards' chaotic instructions are a downer; the food is good, but the overall experience is terrible, making it more suitable for those seeking novelty than for everyday dining.

Very nice. Attentive service. Delicious and very generous dinner. The chef is fabulous. I'll definitely be back.

A legendary place in Parisian nightlife

Dinner at Brasserie Del Castel was a night we won’t forget. The rib eye steak alone is worth the trip, cooked flawlessly and the best I’ve had anywhere, period. The escargot was right there with it, buttery and perfectly done in every way. Two dishes that set the bar for everything else we ate in Paris. We capped it off with a crème brûlée that was spot on, exactly what you want after a meal like that. Our server Idrissa guided us to every one of these choices and couldn’t have been more on point. Knowledgeable, genuine, and made the whole night feel special. If you’re in Paris and want a meal you’ll still be talking about when you get home, this is the place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
