L'Havanita
This tiny shack of a place is down by the waterfront, squashed between a couple of restaurant terraces. It's a pleasant place to enjoy a drink and savour a background drift of Latino music.

Le Cab
Another chic bar-club-restaurant reserved for the bold and the beautiful, the Cab has a modern design interior with circular lounge areas set around a house-and-disco dance floor. You need to be dressed up to get past the door staff, and cashed up to afford the drinks.

La Java
Built in 1922, this is the dance hall where Édith Piaf got her first break, and it now reverberates to the sound of live salsa, rock and world music. Live concerts usually take place during the week at 8pm or 9pm. Afterwards a festive crowd gets dancing to electro, house, disco and Latino DJs.

La Favela Chic
It starts as a chic, convivial restaurant (open for lunch and dinner to 11pm) and gives way to caipirinha- and mojito-fuelled bumping, grinding, flirting and dancing (mostly on the long tables). The music is traditionally bossa nova, samba, baile (dance), funk and Brazilian pop, and it can get very crowded and hot.
