Pachamama Paris Guide: Dinner, Music, Dress Code, Getting There

Pachamama is a dinner club at 46 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a few steps from Place de la Bastille in the 12th, open Thursday to Saturday: the restaurant from 20:00, then the club from 22:30 to 05:30 with resident DJs and Latin-tinged club nights. It replaced the old Barrio Latino at the end of 2017 and asks for smart dress at the door.

From the dinner table to the dancefloor

Pachamama is built for spending the whole night in one place. The restaurant opens at 20:00 with South American-inspired cooking, and from 22:30 the club takes over with resident DJs; the venue's line-up page lists names such as ROOF, SHAHIN, OLEG, RUDBOY and SAN LOCO. The crowd is different from the techno clubs of the east: people book a table, dress up, and stay put until the early hours. Group dinners are on Thursdays only. Special nights follow the calendar: for Halloween 2026 the house ran “Pachamama Haunted Dollhouse” on 31 October, from 22:30 to 05:30, with costume compulsory.

One thing to know before you plan: Pachamama says it doesn't run presales or a guest list. It works with table bookings, for groups of up to 15, and those bookings close at 22:00 on the day. If you're celebrating something, the simplest approach is to sort the table a few days ahead. Message us on WhatsApp with the date and the size of your group, and we'll tell you what's possible.

Barrio Latino's old building

Long-time Parisians still remember the address as Barrio Latino, which became Pachamama at the end of 2017. The venue describes the building as a listed 19th-century structure designed by Gustave Eiffel, and it has dressed it in neo-vintage decor. Sortir à Paris walked through it floor by floor at the opening: dancing at street level, a restaurant on the floor above with a view down to the dancefloor, cocktails one level higher and, right at the top, a smoking room with a pool table. That vertical layout is what makes the evening work: you can eat above the dancefloor, watch it fill, then go down when the club starts. Dinner clubs are much more common around the Champs-Élysées; on the east side of Paris, Pachamama is one of the few.

Dress code and the door

This is one of the few clubs in the east with a published dress rule: “tenue correcte exigée”, meaning smart dress. Think of what you'd wear to a good restaurant on a Saturday night rather than to a warehouse party. The venue also says it reserves the right of admission even with a booking, and that it asks for a balanced mix of men and women at the door, so plan your group with that in mind. For the house rules on a specific night, or for help with a table, message us on WhatsApp before the evening.

Getting there and getting home

Bastille (lines 1 and 5) and Ledru-Rollin (line 8) are the nearest metro stops. There's a taxi rank on Place de la Bastille and, if you drive, a 24-hour car park opposite the venue. The last metros get to the end of their lines at about 02:15 on Fridays and Saturdays and around 01:15 on Thursdays, so if you stay for the club you'll usually need another way home. Noctilien buses cover the night from roughly 00:30 to 05:30, and Gare de Lyon, around ten minutes away on foot, is one of the network's big interchanges. Remember that the venue is closed to the public from Sunday to Wednesday.
