If you happen to get back late from work and live in the area, De la Ville excels having an open kitchen until 1 am, which is rare in Paris. The food is decent and not too pricy, but gastronomic experiences should be searched for elsewhere. However, the place holds other values. It is particularly charming in the weekend when it is crowded, and the classic interior with its large halls and mirrors is reminiscence of another time. In the weekend evenings, the place turns into a more club'ish kind of place, with cocktails and dj's.
