Let's have a coffee time!

The Maison Delano is launching its new gourmet gathering around specialty coffee. Served daily from 11 AM to 6 PM at the Delano Bar, Coffee Time can be enjoyed on-site or to-go in a calm and bright atmosphere, perfect for working or taking a break. Created by chef Paolo Minelli, the menu highlights Lavazza 1895 coffee, offered in slow brew or classic versions, accompanied by two signature creations such as the Amaretto Cappuccino or the Blossom Cappuccino. The break continues with homemade pastries, including an original creation blending porcini mushrooms, shiitake, and hazelnut praline. A lovely spot to slow down right at the start of the week.

We’re trying out a new restaurant 

Born from the meeting between Georges Mohammed Chérif and self-taught chef Jérémy Elie Marratche, Test offers an original dialogue between Japanese cuisine and Mediterranean flavors inspired by the chef’s Sephardic childhood. You can savor bold dishes like the egg brick with red tuna belly tartare, bonito sashimi with labneh infused with orange blossom, and a Tunisian fricassé with a Japanese twist. The decor swings between a chic izakaya-style marble counter and intimate alcoves. It’s a unique spot that truly stands out, and we already can’t wait to visit again!

We’re having a blast with Adel Fugazi

Revealed in Comedy Class by Éric and Ramzy, Adel Fugazi confirms all the good things we thought about him with a show that’s as spontaneous as it is effective. With well-timed punchlines, improvisation with the audience, and self-deprecation, the comedian delivers jokes with an infectious energy. The pace is lively, leaving you with cheeks sore from laughing too much. A generous stand-up that proves he truly deserved his spot on the show. Perfect for a fun night out during the week!

Let yourself be swayed by a lovely piano and voice cabaret 

With Dyke, Billie Bellegarde offers an intimate and radiant piano-voice cabaret blending humor and personal confessions. The show shares her journey, her queer friendships and the building of her identity through original compositions and covers of French variety and pop. Between intimate stories and musical moments, the performance tackles issues of representation and community with sensitivity and determination. A sincere offering that celebrates vulnerability and the power of the stage. A show that is both political and joyful !

Discover The Catbaret

The Catbaret by the Hanabi Circus Company is back for a special edition in the large space of Dock B in Pantin. This immersive evening takes the form of a mystery surrounding the artist Miss Blondie Rosebud and a mysterious farewell ceremony. With flowart, bellydance fusion, aerial acrobatics, and neo-burlesque, the show blends cabaret and street arts in a hybrid aesthetic. Supported by a collective from the alternative Parisian scenes, the event promises a spectacular and offbeat evening. An immersive experience that sits right between theater and contemporary cabaret.
