Where can I eat after midnight in Paris?

Late-night eating in Paris is genuinely limited, but a few reliable options exist. The Marais neighborhood keeps the latest hours: L'As du Fallafel on Rue des Rosiers closes around 2 a.m. on most nights, and several kebab shops along Rue de Rivoli run until 3 or 4 a.m. Brasseries are your best bet for a sit-down meal: La Coupole in Montparnasse and Le Wepler near Place de Clichy both serve until 1 a.m. and occasionally later on weekends. Around Les Halles and Châtelet, a cluster of brasseries and fast-casual spots stay open past midnight by design, catering to theater and nightlife crowds. If you want something more substantial after 2 a.m., Au Pied de Cochon in the 1st arrondissement is open 24 hours and has been serving onion soup and pork dishes to late-night Parisians since the old market days. Avoid expecting full kitchens anywhere past 1 a.m. unless you've confirmed hours directly.
