Never have I been more humiliated in my life. Never in my years of nighlife, have I ever been refused entry and harrassed by all the bodyguards for no threatening reason whatsoever. I'm a 5 foot 4 South African weighing on 8 stone with no ambition to beat anyone 5 times my size. I was simply refused entry because I was speaking to the lady that accepted comps and all of a sudden this nasty version of Tom Jones starts fluffing his feathers, telling me I will never get in. I was then pushed by this other bodyguard, until finally a female version of security comes out and asks me what the problem was. She hears what I have to say, does nothing about it and just goes back in the club. So this is advice for anyone going to this club. What ever you have to say will prevent you from having a good time... So swallow up the harmless, opinionated person that you are, wait in the queue, don't smile, don't converse and make sure that the wannabe Tom Jones lets you in cause his tupe covers up what he really ain't got.....so he's gotta express is self-worth otherwise - by acting like an absolute p****.

Cafe de Paris is probably the least exclusive of the exclusive London clubs, but it's all the better for it! The music is a really good mix on both Fridays and Saturdays, the drinks are not as overpriced as other big West End clubs and the staff are lovely. It has gorgeous decor and a decent lounge area if you're feet get tired, but most of all it's got a good-sized dance floor that you probably won't want to leave! Also as it's generally £10 on a guestlist, you are getting a fairly up-market club at a very fair price. Probably my favourite club in London!

Cafe De Paris....i must say when i previous went it was amazing and aparently on july 4th there is something really special happening..so def be going!!!

I have been to many west end clubs and have to say that Cafe de Paris is one of the best, Not only in terms of it's decor, which is stunning, no other venue comes close to it, but also the music, staff and atmosphere.
They also do regular stage shows with very sexy looking dancers. The prices are as you would expect from a west end venue. I agree that the door entry is strict, you have to make an effort. If you cant get in, them maybe you have to ask yourself why.
I will definitely be going back.

Me and girls went here on the 01/03/08 (saturday). A good night was had but if your really into having a party this may not be the place to go on a saturday night.

It gets packed and I found the music to be quite dated. The dj was not that good at mixing tunes or styles together. All in all I would class this as a if all else fails type club. Met a lot of very nice people there though.

Okay, this is for the people who ALWAYS critisize the night clubs. You dress up, go there, get bloody drunk and then all you remember next day is how bad was the staff. This is London West End, all the night clubs will have cons such as strict door policy and pricey drinks!!

Cafe De Paris is one of the best nightclubs I've ever been to! First of all, its massive ceiling makes such a good impression, design and decor is definitely brilliant! Second, I got in without any problems, no one even asked for my ID! Third, most importantly, the music was absolutely great. I love rnb music, and on that friday night there was plenty of hip-hop and rnb mixed jams which basically made my night on that venue.

You don't feel like at the basement of some building and claustrophobic about it (like in Pangaea, Movida and other posh but dark places).

I definitely will go next time (on friday) and maybe with reserved table. It is decent place to go on friday evening and have so much fun

After reading so many bad reviews I was a little sceptical about even attempting to get into this club but have top admit it wasn't too bad at all!

Admittedly the guy who let us in was a bit up his own arse and had this nasty habit at looking down his nose at you...coupled with lots of camp head tossing! But once in we had a pretty good night....the drinks were average prices for a london club and the music was a pretty good mix.

As we were leaving at the end of the night we were approached by a doorman who asked us if we wanted a taxi. He called one for us giving us time for one last drink in the bar then he escorted us to the taxi waiting outside the club.....pretty good service!

Well after the mixed reviews cafe has had i hope to shed some light on the place!
id say firstly its the door staff who let this venue down!
after making a table reservation with a group of friends for his birthday we got there to be told they wernt letting anyone in as they were full although the comb-overed italian looking head bouncer let every white female who wanted entry in, it was blatantly obvious they wernt letting any coloured race in!
which i find hilarious as a white looking female...me and my friend 2 weeks before walked straight in without even paying!
when and if you get inside yes its a good venue bar staff are really friendly drinks are of the norm price for the west end, the music mix is mainly chart funky house r'n'b they did play some cheese but im sure by then everyone was too gone to realise let alone hear what they were dancing to!
the vip toilets have an unusal pong to them and the main toilets upstairs are no better being sweaty overcrowded with a miserably rude attendant and a permanent fog of hairspray.
however get it on the right night (ive been both saturday and sundays) and its a wicked venue to be in, in vip your well catered for its defo worth booking a table direct.
its just obvious that on some days management clearly arnt doing their job!
im thinking this venue will have a refurb or even a good spring clean soon as their carpets are getting grotty and its starting to feel as a not such a great venue in comparison to funky budda pangea and paper.
Hit and miss venue really my tip to ask on the door what its like inside they give you advise!
