SILENCIO
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; http://silencio-club.com ; 142 rue Montmartre, 2e; 6pm-4am Tue-Sat;

Bourse)
A David Lynch-designed interior is what gives Silencio its aura of glamour and mystery. It's
members only, although non-members who look like supermodels (or their dates) can, the-
oretically, breach the velvet rope after midnight.

THE CITY'S MOST FAMOUS HOT CHOCOLATE

Clink china with lunching ladies, their posturing poodles and half the students from
Tokyo University at Angelina ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 226 rue de Rivoli, 1er; 8am-7pm Mon-Fri,
9am-7pm Sat & Sun; Tuileries) , a grande dameof a tearoom dating to 1903. Decadent
pastries are served here, against a fresco backdrop of belle époque Nice, but it is the
superthick, decadently sickening 'African' hot chocolate (€8.20), which comes with a
pot of whipped cream and a carafe of water, that prompts the constant queue for a
table at Angelina.
