Raspoutine is Paris's red-velvet Russian cabaret-club — a Tsarist jewel-box off the Champs-Élysées designed by Erté in 1965, reborn as one of the city's most exclusive late rooms. Small, ornate and selective; the night starts late and the door rewards the well-introduced.
Booking, the OF.luxury way
One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.
Raspoutine on Rue de Bassano: the room, the nights and the arrival
Raspoutine is at 58 Rue de Bassano in the 8th arrondissement, a side street running south from the Champs-Élysées towards Avenue d'Iéna. The club uses valet parking at the Vinci car park on Avenue George V, so a self-driven arrival is straightforward. With a chauffeur, the car simply sets down at the door.
From Le Bourget the run comes in on the A1 and across to Étoile. As the doors open late, even an evening landing leaves time for dinner first.
The room
Raspoutine opened in 1965 as a Russian cabaret, its baroque interior conceived by the artist Erté. The decoration survives: red velvet walls, ironwork patterns and red crystal chandeliers. The room is intimate in scale, built around its tables rather than a large dancefloor.
Hours and music
The club opens from Thursday to Saturday, 23:30 to 05:00. DJ sets lean towards deep house rather than a commercial mix. It is a regular choice for private parties during Paris Fashion Week.
Who it suits
Raspoutine suits a principal who wants a contained, well-run late room rather than a club built for volume. Tables are the usual way in, and groups are expected to be well dressed. It is also available to hire in full for a private event.
Dinner beforehand is often at Beefbar Paris or Manko on Avenue Montaigne, both a few minutes away. Guests continuing south after Paris can find the Paris to Nice jet route on our jets pages.
What is the minimum spend at Raspoutine?
