There’s even a Ping-Pong table and a smoking room hidden behind a mirrored wardrobe… très chic.

A small Mexican restaurant in the third arrondissement where the lack of space (and maybe the strength of the frozen margaritas) means that you naturally get to know your neighbor. There is even a small speakeasy hidden at the back of the restaurant behind a white, unmarked door.
