About Le Louxor
Le Louxor is a restored 1921 neo-Egyptian cinema on Boulevard de Magenta in Paris's 10th arrondissement, worth visiting for its striking outdoor setting and accessible pricing. Walk-ins are easy, the neighbourhood is good value, and the architectural backdrop makes it one of the more visually interesting spots in the area. Best approached as a cultural stop with a drink, not a dining destination.
Le Louxor, Paris: Quick Take
Most people who know Le Louxor know it as a cinema — one of Paris's most architecturally striking picture houses, built in a neo-Egyptian style that dominates the corner of Boulevard de Magenta in the 10th arrondissement. If you're arriving expecting a restaurant or bar in the conventional sense, reset that expectation now. Le Louxor is primarily a cultural venue, and everything else here exists in service of that experience.
That said, the terrace and bar areas at Le Louxor are genuinely worth factoring into a visit, particularly right now while Paris is in its warmer months and outdoor seating comes into its own. The exterior of the building alone — its tiled facade a throwback to 1921, restored and reopened in 2013 after decades of closure , gives the surrounding outdoor space a visual backdrop you won't find at a standard Parisian bar. For value-seekers, this matters: you're getting an architectural spectacle as part of the package, not just a drink.
On the value question more broadly, the 10th arrondissement is one of Paris's more accessible neighbourhoods for price-to-quality. Canal Saint-Martin is a short walk away, and this part of the city consistently delivers more for your money than the 1st or 8th. Le Louxor fits that profile. Compared to a tourist-facing terrace near the Seine, you're likely to spend less and sit somewhere more interesting.
Booking is easy , walk-ins are the norm for the bar area. This is not a destination that requires weeks of forward planning, which makes it a practical addition to an afternoon or early evening in the 10th.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the food good at Le Louxor?
Le Louxor is primarily a cinema and bar venue at 170 Boulevard de Magenta, not a destination for serious eating. Food is secondary to the drinks and the architecture here. If a full meal is your priority, eat before or after and treat Le Louxor as a drinks stop rather than a dining decision.
Does Le Louxor have outdoor seating?
Le Louxor sits on a busy stretch of Boulevard de Magenta in the 10th arrondissement, where pavement space is limited. Outdoor seating is not confirmed in the available venue data. The draw here is the interior neo-Egyptian design, so going inside is the point.
Does Le Louxor have happy hour deals?
No happy hour pricing is confirmed for Le Louxor. The 10th arrondissement has strong competition for pre-cinema drinks deals, with nearby bars along Canal Saint-Martin often running timed offers. If price is a deciding factor, check current offers directly before visiting.
What's the signature drink at Le Louxor?
No specific signature drink is documented for Le Louxor. Given the venue's cinematic identity and Egyptian-themed interior on Boulevard de Magenta, the bar programme is designed to complement the experience of the space rather than headline as a cocktail destination in its own right.
Is Le Louxor good for a date?
Yes, with a specific format in mind: a film plus drinks at the bar works well as a date structure, and the neo-Egyptian interior at 170 Boulevard de Magenta gives you something to talk about without trying. It's a stronger choice than a straight bar crawl if you want a built-in activity. For a drinks-only date without the cinema, Candelaria or Danico offer more dedicated cocktail programmes.
Is Le Louxor good for groups?
Le Louxor works for small groups who are there to see a film together, but it's not set up as a group bar venue in the way that Buddha Bar or Harry's Bar handle larger parties. Groups of 4 or more looking purely for drinks would be better served elsewhere in the 10th. For a cinema outing with a few friends, it's a practical and visually interesting choice.
