Long missed during its three- year makeover, le Drugstore is back and is once again a bar, a restaurant, a gourmet food shop, newsstand, well, everything. In the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, it's just the place if you're craving onion soup at 1am before heading on to Queen, or if your hangover has started early – with a convenience store open 'til 2am. Being owned by Publicis, the hot ad agency of France, the retro- 60s futuristic façade and menu by Alain Ducasse helped this spot land a place in every Parisian media-rati's speed- dial but convenience of location, a good happy hour, and the occasional interesting promos (such as celebrity guest chefs during the holidays) keep it fresh.
